On Stockhead today, the rising food industry trends aren’t just all about plant-based meat and delivery tech, the latest Wildcatter podcast on flow batteries, and we shine a light on an up and coming gold company and a specialist insurer in this week’s Bargain Barrel.

But first…

 

The day ahead

All eyes will be on the RBA today, starting with a speech by deputy governor Guy Debelle called “Employment & Wages” at 10:50am in Canberra.

That will be followed by the main event — a speech from governor Philip Lowe at 8:05pm in Sydney titled “Unconventional Monetary Policy”.

The speech is expected to provide some clarity around the bank’s view towards different policy measures to stimulate a slowing economy, and could have an important bearing on the overall policy outlook.

The following companies are in trading halts or suspensions and are expected to exit in the next couple of trading days.

Tuesday:

Adavale Resources (ASX:ADD) – capital raising
Big Star Energy (ASX:BNL) – land acquisition
TV2U International (ASX:TV2) – new licence agreement

Wednesday:

Reece Pharmaceuticals (ASX:RCE) – test results
Jadar Lithium (ASX:JDR) – AGM results
Helios Energy (ASX:HE8) – capital raising
Castillo Copper (ASX:CCZ) – capital raising
XState (ASX:XST) – capital raising
Victory Mines (ASX:VIC) – mineral results
Comet Ridge (ASX:COI) – capital raising
Strike Resources (ASX:SRK) – scoping study results
