On Stockhead today, how to tell if your wind farm is as good as your lithium deposit, the $50K a night hotel room that might just be worth it, and which stocks are being hit by EOFY tax loss selling?
But first:
The day ahead
It’s a quiet one on the domestic calendar today, with all eyes on the US Federal Reserve later tonight when the central bank makes it rates announcement.
Benchmark US interest rates will stay on hold, but markets will be watching like a hawk for any changes in the Fed’s thinking on the prospect of possible rate cuts later this year.
Also overseas, the UK and Canada both report inflation figures for May.

What got you talking last week
Over on the Stockhead Facebook group page, chatroom member Philip Robinson gave our senior journalist Rachel Williamson a shoutout for her excellent rundown of the Australian cannabis sector.
“Hi Rachel great read. Helpful information thanks. Did you have a look at MXC at all? Any thoughts on it?“, Robinson asked.
And Rachel’s response: “Hey Philip, thanks! I didn’t but I do know they’re doing business in LatAm and China, which I find super interesting. Not many pot stocks are venturing into that country yet — it’s tricky, but apparently going to be very Chinese, ie massive.”

Yesterday’s losers
Among the laggards, consumer electronics retailer Tempo Australia (ASX: TPP) was the worst performer, losing 40 per cent of its value to fall to 4.2 cents.
The company only rejoined the ASX boards on Friday after being in a trading halt since 24 April 2019, in connection with a contract for the construction of a solar farm that Tempo said may put stress on its existing working capital facilities.
