On Stockhead today, oil’s rally may be overblown but gas still offers some interesting plays, two investment managers on the top tech sector takeover targets and WA’s historic Kookynie is a hotspot for high-grade gold and grade-A steak sandwiches.

But first…

The day ahead

The local market looks unlikely to take its direction from any key data or events, with a quiet day ahead on the local calendar.

Looking abroad, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will make its policy announcement with two committee members of the US Federal Reserve — Charles Evans and James Bullard — also scheduled to speak.

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

Wednesday:

Bowen Coking Coal (ASX:BCB) – acquisition and capital raising
Saturn Metals (ASX:STN) – capital raising
Energy Technologies (ASX:EGY) – capital raising
Technology Metals (ASX:TMT) – supplier selection
Coziron Resources (ASX:CZR) – capital raising
Ionic Rare Earths (ASX:IXR) – mineral resource estimate
Delecta (ASX:DLC) – capital raising
Leigh Creek Energy (ASX:LCK) – capital raising

Thursday:

Latin Resources (ASX:LRS) – capital raising
Dart Mining (ASX:DTM) – capital raising
Great Northern Minerals (ASX:GNM) – capital raising
Vonex (ASX:VN8) – capital raising
