On Stockhead today, why junior battery metals miners are the cheapest they’ve ever been, how the billionaires are investing their capital amid the pandemic and the stocks investors flocked to in March while the world is in lockdown.

But first…

 

The day ahead

For Australian traders, there’s February retail sales data (before the impact of COVID-19) and construction activity figures for March, which are forecast to show another sharp downturn.

Later on, all eyes will be on US employment data for March, which is expected to show a “dramatic” rise in unemployment, Westpac says, and will be the first main indicator that the US economy is headed into recession.
