2. Chinese copper imports hit a monthly record....BUY WIRE.
3. Only a matter of time before these commercial real estate blowups in the US cause another banking crisis....See Random Observation.
4. There is talk of deals in MET COAL being done at US$290 a ton....A shipment was sold at US$246 the other day....Let's see what comes out in the wash - but pricing is looking very good all of a sudden!....BUY SMR - it is CHEAP.
5. SEC is freezing all of Binance's US assets....You wouldn't want to have money on their platform or with Coinbase....heck...why even take the risk with crypto? Just buy PHYSICALLY BACKED PRECIOUS METAL ETFs and sleep like a baby!
ASX Market Update
ASX down 11 points to 7118
Beach (BPT) was one of the worst performers falling 8% to $1.305 after announcing drilling at one of its prospects came up with NADA; it's rig will now move on to another spot....As BPT is an existing producer in a strong financial position, I will maintain a BUY.
Random Observation
