The latest market news, commentary and strategy by Adrian Rowney

#### Next week I’ll pick out the best Airbus Albo memes for your enjoyment….These authoritarian politicians in Australia wanting to censor us can get stuffed – it’s an important fight.
5 Things that Grabbed my Attention
1. Newmont surged 12.46% in the US on BETTER than expected quarterly earnings….Giddy up!!!
2. Potential mega M&A deal: BHP has lobbed a takeover bid for Anglo American.
3. Inflation in Australia came in much higher than economists expected…..I doubt normal Aussies were surprised as we’re all watching the purchasing power of our money dwindle in real time.
4. Chalice (CHN) upgraded the size of it’s giant palladium/platinum/nickel/copper/gold deposit by 18%….Market reaction – smash it 10% lower. Hahaha are you kidding me!?!?! BUY last sale $1.16
5. Biden wants to implement a 44.6% capital gains tax (highest ever) and a 25% UNREALIZED tax on the rich….If this goes through, the exodus of wealth from America will be unprecedented.
ASX Market Update
ASX 200 SHUT for ANZAC DAY
I’m not joking – CHN upgraded it’s giant deposit by 18% and the market punished it!….This thing will fly once PLATINUM/PALLADIUM get a wriggle on. It is such a unique and strategic deposit. BUY last sale $1.16

Random Observation
Articles on Bloomberg warning about oversupply of URANIUM are very likely to be fake news….BUY URNM – the market is going to be tight for years!

NEWMONT shares surged 12.46% on massive volume as production for the quarter came in at 1.68 mil oz of GOLD vs 1.6 mil oz expected….All in costs are around $1400/oz so the world biggest GOLD miner is generating some healthy margins.
