Rise and Shine: What you need to know before the ASX opens
News
On Stockhead today, the most in-demand stocks on the ASX right now, the small caps with first-mover advantage on the Nullarbor, and the small cap waging a full frontal war on big bacteria.
But first:
Amid the global re-rating in bond markets, central banks and inflation figures will again take centre stage on the economic calendar.
In Australia, RBA governor Philip Lowe will participate in a panel discussion on Monday morning. Then on Tuesday evening, Michelle Bullock (RBA assistant governor) will give a speech called “Modernising the Australian Payments System” in Berlin.
Later in the week on Friday the RBA will have May figures for private sector credit, including growth in home loans.
Overseas, US Fed Chair Jerome Powell will give a speech on the US economy on Tuesday night. And PCE data for May on Friday night will give an update on the US inflation outlook.
Core PCE inflation is forecast to be soft at just 1.6%, but Westpac says that weakness is “expected to be transitory”.
Then all eyes will on be on the G20 Summit, particularly President Trump’s scheduled meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
The Aussie dollar will start the week at 0.6928 US cents.

Leading the pack was Orion Metals (ASX:ORM), climbing from 0.008 cents to 0.2 cents on the back of a quarterly of and annual report released on Thursday — good enough for a gain of 150 per cent.
And any reader with half an eye on resources would have known that gold stocks had a great session to end the week, after the gold prices in AUD terms pushed above $2,000 for the first time ever.

The market lost faith that Avenira (ASX:AEV) has funding secured, as the share price slumped 54 per cent last week before hitting a trading halt.
The phosphate miner has been waiting on $11m-14m worth of funding to keep the wheels spinning and hopes to have some news to share this morning.
