On Stockhead today, uncovering mountains of gold in Argentina, how long will the BNPL boom last, and Aussies walk away from Tesla.

But first…

The day ahead

NAB’s monthly survey will provide an update on business sentiment in the Australian economy, following the month of October which saw the federal government hand down its budget and a number of states reopen their borders.

Later tonight, three different members of the US Federal Reserve are expected to provide comments in the wake of last weeks’s US election.
