On Stockhead today, two small cap fund managers on what they expect to happen next after the wild COVID-19 ride, three experts weigh in on Australia’s clean energy future and a 50-day market run has got the bears annoyed.

But first…

The week ahead

With this week being shorter due to several states having a public holiday on Monday, much of this week’s economic data is squashed into Tuesday and Wednesday.

Today look out for ANZ Job Advertisements, NAB Business confidence and the Manpower Employment Outlook Survey.

Data being released on Wednesday includes Westpac Consumer Confidence, home and investor loan values and ANZ-Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence. Finally, on Thursday we’ll see consumer inflation expectations.

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

Tuesday:

Kip McGrath Education Centres (ASX:KME) – capital raising
Carnaby Resources (ASX:CNB) – preliminary feasibility study
Osprey Medical (ASX:OSP) – capital raising

Wednesday:

BMG Resources (ASX:BMG) – capital raising
Nelson Resources (ASX:NES) – capital raising
Torian Resources (ASX:TNR) – exploration results
Global Petroleum (ASX:GBP) – ASX removal application
Thomson Resources (ASX:TMZ) – capital raising
Medibio (ASX:MEB) – capital raising

What got you talking last week

Gold has continued to be popular despite its fall in Aussie dollar terms with its appreciation against the US dollar. In particular, our Twitter followers liked Bevis Yeo’s recap of gold stocks with projects in the Americas.
