On Stockhead today, this tech will tell your boss if you’re COVID-19 positive; these 2 critical minerals projects have attracted big Government funding; and ‘SaaS’ companies were an ASX investor favourite. Has the model held strong through COVID-19?

But first…

Australian markets will get the headline data release of the week when June employment numbers come out at 11:30am AEST.

The median forecast is for jobs growth to rebound back into positive territory after May’s 227,000 fall, with the unemployment rate expected to remain above seven per cent.

Elsewhere, China will release Q2 GDP numbers along with industrial production, fixed asset and retail sales numbers while later on the European Central Bank will make its monthly policy announcement.
