ASX TODAY​

• Alcoa reports Q4 EPS of $1.04 vs. $0.95 consensus, NYSE-listed shares up around 2.2% in after hours, provides 2025 production outlook (AAI)
• Lotus Resources advances Kayelekera Project, targeting first uranium production for September quarter 2025 (LOT)
• Mount Gibson reports Q2 production report, holds A$431m cash (vs. $384m market cap), operations tracking in-line with FY25 guidance (MGX)
• Regis Resources reports Q2 AISC of A$2,317/oz vs. A$2,495/oz a quarter ago, quarterly gold revenue of $482m, reaffirms FY guidance (RRL)
• Rio Tinto expects Resolution copper mine in Arizona to be given green light under new Trump administration, previously delayed for 12 months over permits (FT)
• Star Entertainment lenders discuss with advisors over how a voluntary administration might go (AFR)

WHAT TO WATCH TODAY​

• Sector weakness: All US sectors (ex-Tech) finished lower. We're seeing big breadth reversal after a solid ~6 days of good breadth. On a side note, most of the above resource-related ETFs finished 1-3% lower after a decent run. Let's see how the dust settles.
• Uranium: Another sizeable rally overnight for the Global X Uranium ETF (URA), up 4.0% but off session highs of 5.8%. It's now up 10.2% in the last two sessions. Most ASX-listed names like BOE, DYL and PDN opened 2-5% higher on Wednesday but finished up 7-14%. It appears that local names were front-running that overnight move, which could result in a rather choppy session today. Nevertheless, a big momentum thrust for the sector.

Just wondering if Capt Chaza aka The Mad Cap't aka Cap't C Weed has finally sailed off into the wide blue yonder.
No posts for some time or is it just that he has blocked the whole of the ASF membership, so that he can then have no criticism of his salty views.

ASX TODAY​

• Accent Group guides 1H25 EBIT of $80m vs. Citi ests of $74m (22-Nov-24) but gross margins down 100 bps due to ongoing promotional trading environment (AX1)
• Boss Energy reports Q2 uranium production of 137,084 lbs, on track to meet FY25 production guidance (BOE)
• Perseus Mining reports Q2 gold production of 132.4koz vs. 121.3koz a quarter ago, production for 1H25 and CY24 was towards the upper end of guidance ranges in each case while AISC were below the bottom end (PRU)
• Pilbara Minerals reports Q2 spodumene production of 188.2kdmt or 1.5% ahead of 185.3kdmt consensus, 204.1kdmt shipments or 9.3% beat and US$700/dmt realised price vs. $673.1/dmt consensus (PLS)
• Star Entertainment to divest The Star Sydney Event Centre and other additional spaces within The Star Sydney complex to Foundation Theaters for A$60m (SGR)
• Vault Minerals reports Q2 gold production, tweaks FY gold sales guidance down to 390-410koz from 390-430koz (VAU)

WHAT TO WATCH TODAY​

• Lots of quarterlies and preliminary earnings: At a glance, Accent looks like a mixed bag as solid EBIT is offset by a much larger-than-expected deterioration in margins, Perseus looks solid on strong production and cost control, Pilbara continues to crush expectations (operationally speaking) and Vault might see some pressure on the slight guidance downgrade
• Tech bounce: Local tech stocks experienced a selective bounce on Wednesday (e.g. Xero opened -1.4%, closed +1.7%). While data centre names like NextDC finished 7.2% lower, up from session lows of -9.2% but off highs of -5.1%.
• Gold strength: Gold has recouped almost the entirety of Wednesday's 1.1% selloff. The strength of the US dollar (DXY +0.43% overnight) has pushed Aussie gold prices up 1.4% overnight to a record $4,420 an ounce.
• Copper weakness: Not too much movement in copper prices overnight but heavy selling across most major copper mines like Lundin (-4.1%), Antofagasta (-2.2%) and First Quantum (-2.2%). This dragged the Global X Copper Miners ETF down to near one year low.

Salute and Gods' Speed
