Top 10 at 11: Chew toys, Rare Earths and Fake News are the morning's headlines

Good morning, and welcome to Stockhead’s Top 10 at shortly-before-11-ish, which is meant to highlight the best (and sometimes worst) performing ASX stocks in morning trade using live data, to provide a short, sharp update to help frame the trading day by showing the biggest movers in percentage terms.

The market opens at 10am (eastern time) and the data is taken at 10:15am, once every ASX stock has started trading – for better or worse – and then I do my best to make sense of who’s moving where and why it might be happening.

Local markets opened 79 points higher, spot gold is back over US$2,000 per ounce, Britain is officially in a recession, and a guy who got kicked out of the army after 20 student dissidents ‘mysteriously vanished’ is probably going to be Indonesia’s next president, so… the end of year trip to Bali might be off, guys.

Here’s what’s been happening since the doors were opened this morning
