On Stockhead today, we look at what’s behind the sudden run of recent mineral discoveries in Australia, rising global tensions are putting defence stocks in the spotlight and Australia risks being a dumping ground for bad cars if it doesn’t act on EVs.

But first…

 

The day ahead

This week in economic data is a quiet one. On Wednesday at 11.30am we’ll get an insight into the impacts of COVID-19 on the construction sector with the release of construction work done for the March quarter.

On Thursday look out for private capital expenditure and the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ preliminary April merchandise trade. Finally on Friday watch out for month-on-month and year-on-year private sector credit.

The following companies are in trading halts and are expected to exit in the next two trading days:

Monday:

Invex Therapeutics (ASX:IXC) – capital raising
Opyl (ASX:OPL) – commercial contracts
Credit Intelligence (ASX:CI1) – finance facility
Bigtincan Holdings (ASX:BTH) – capital raising

What got you talking last week

In case you missed it, last week we hosted Part 2 of our V-Con series that was focused on the West Australian gold sector.

We spoke with a number of companies as well as industry analysts including Bailleu Holst’s Richard Morrow and the Lowell Resources Fund’s John Forwood.

Also popular last week was the latest move by former nickel mogul Kerry Harmanis. On Wednesday we revealed he had put $2.6m into Brazil-focused explorer Centaurus (ASX:CTM).
