Explosions have rocked southern Beirut today, as Israel claims it's struck Hezbollah infrastructure in the Lebanese capital.Earlier today, an explosion was heard from southern Beirut, with a cloud of smoke seen rising over the skyline.Israel also says it's made another wave of strikes on infrastructure across Iran including several long-range ballistic missile launch sites it says were prepared for launch toward Israel.Iran's UN ambassador says US-Israeli attacks have killed at least 1,300 Iranian civilians and wounded thousands.The disruption of global fuel supply chains due to the war in the Middle East is beginning to impact Australian food producers.Australian fuel wholesalers have begun rationing their supply, with federal energy minister Chris Bowen attributing panic-buying to the shortages reportedly being experienced by farmers in regional areas.The Australian share market has lurched down in response to the surge in oil, with the ASX 200 closing down two-point-nine per cent.Two Australian men have been jailed by an Indonesian court, over the murder of a Melbourne father who was shot and killed in a Bali villa last year.The pair have been sentenced for 16 years - after they told the court they killed Zivan Radmanovic, after mistaking him for another man they had been sent to intimidate.Mr Radmanovic was staying at the tourist accommodation as part of birthday celebrations for his wife Jazmyn Gourdeas.

Mojtaba Khamenei, has been named as the new supreme leader of Iran.He replaces his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in the first wave of US and Israeli strikes.Explosions have been reported throughout the Gulf States, including in Bahrain, where state owned media says 32 people were injured in an Iranian drone strike.Meanwhile, the price of crude oil has risen above US$110 a barrel as the Strait of Hormuz, a critical choke point for shipments, remains effectively closed.The surge has sent a shock through the ASX, which has ended the day 3.2 per cent lowerIt's the Australian market's worst day since the so called "Liberation Day" sell-off in April last year, and has seen the broad All Ordinaries index shed around $120 billion in value.And there've been warnings from human rights groups that Iran's Women's soccer team could face punishment when they return home.The players refused to sing the national anthem before their first Asian Cup match last week, but then saluted and sang before the second game against Australia, after a barrage of criticism from Iran.Former Socceroos captain and human rights campaigner Craig Foster says the federal government should offer protection to the team if football authorities fail to do so.

Iran has launched its first wave of missiles under its new supreme leader Moshtaba Khamenei.Iran has been launching drones and missiles against Israel and Arab Gulf states.  Moshtaba is the son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in US and Israeli strikes at the beginning of the Iran war.The US and Israel are meanwhile continuing their bombardment of Iran.The federal government says Australia's emergency fuel stockpiles have not yet been accessed, as the war in the Middle East disrupts global supply.Some Australian wholesalers, including United Petroleum, have begun rationing - halting supply to regional fuel distributors.Brent crude has surged more than 25 per cent, past US$115 a barrel.that's triggered a sharp sell off on the ASX. It's now down more than 4 per centThe Northern Territory government says trucks carrying food will be able to get to Katherine today.The Stuart Highway has been closed on both sides of the town since major flooding hit the region on Friday, causing supply chain issues and food shortages across the NT.Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro says only vehicles carrying essential supplies will be able to access the town.

The conflict in the Middle East is starting to have a significant impact on Australia's economy, given the fighting looks a long way from easing.The ASX has opened with a sharp sell off and is down more than three per cent.The oil price has surged alarmingly, more than 15 per cent, and is now $100 US a barrel for the first time in more than three and a half years.Petrol prices have been rising sharply across Australia causing people to panic buy and fill up jerry cans at the bowser.The situation is also worrying farmers who rely heavily on affordable fuel and fertiliser.This comes as Iran's state media reveals Mojtaba Khamenei will replace his father Ali Khamenei as the country's new supreme leader.It means hard-liners are still in control of Iran, and that's at odds with efforts from the US and Israel to bring about regime change.It's also raised questions about whether the US and Israel will assassinate Mojtaba, like his father.Pressure's on the Australian Government to try and find a solution to stop the potential persecution of the Iranian women's soccer team who are about to return home after the Asian Cup.The team's been playing matches in Australia but they didn't sing the national anthem during one of their games, prompting backlash from the hard-line regime.Aid groups warn players are in a difficult position because even if they are offered asylum, their families could face persecution back home.

One of Australia's biggest radio shows, Kyle & Jackie O, has ended. Tuesday's announcement to the ASX, the Australian stock market, makes it clear that it isn't a stunt. The show is now off the air: Kent Small is doing the breakfast show in both Sydney and Melbourne (this is Australian radio, so he has to have a nickname, which is “Smallzy”).Employment lawyers will now be involved, in two of the biggest media legal cases in the country, as things begin to get messy. Jackie “O” Henderson is now saying that she “did not quit or resign”, in a statement that, perhaps pointedly, didn't mention Kyle's name once. Kyle (who has also taken time away from TV duties) is also reported to be priming his lawyers for a reported $88mn; potentially arguing that a similar argument on-air last year wasn't treated as serious by ARN, his whole show was based on controversy, and a slightly misguided view that ARN's censors should have prevented the argument going out. There's plenty more informed coverage in the Game Changers Radio podcast.This might look like a peculiarly Australian news story. But, actually, I think it raises questions for radio people everywhere. Here are some of them.

The ASX is set to dive as oil prices spike amid escalating conflict in Iran, while a disappointing US jobs report also weighed on markets. Meanwhile, metals and mineral prices surged as tensions in the Middle East intensified. James Gruber, Equity Market Strategist at CommSec takes you through all the key numbers.

The Dow dropped 453 points, the Nasdaq fell 1.5% and the S&P 500 lost 1.3%. The VIX rose 26% to 29. European markets were down again. Bitcoin dropped 4.5%.Overall resources held up. Gold rose 1.8%, silver 2.4% and even industrial metals in London held the line. It didn't help the related shares though. All were down, some quite sharply, with the exception of energy firms – the only sector in the S&P 500 to stay positive. Also important was the latest US jobs data. The US unexpectedly lost 92,000 jobs in February. It was supposed to be a 55,000 gain. Retail sales declined 0.2%, slightly better than forecast. WTI hit its highest level since 2023 and just completed its biggest weekly rise ever. It's up 36% for the week. US President Trump says there'll be no deal with Iran except “unconditional surrender”. Qatar's energy minister warns oil could hit US$150 a barrel. Also of interest is his observation that Qatar's LNG expansion plans are now postponed. This was supposed to bring down world LNG prices and help sustain the economic expansion. Losing this is not good for the world.SPI Futures down 156 points.

We're poised for a rough start to the week, after Wall St saw a sizeable drop last Friday to cap off a highly volatile week. The Dow Jones lost 1%, the S&P500 fell 1.3%, while the Nasdaq lost 1.6%. On top of the ramifications of the ongoing Middle East conflict, investors also reacted to softer than expected US Jobs data which was released on Friday, adding to the sell-off.What to watch today:Looking ahead to today, the ASX is set to nosedive this morning, with the SPI futures pointing to a 1.8% drop at the open of trade today. The biggest story remains commodities, particularly Crude Oil. The supply fears remain around the Strait of Hormuz, which showed no signs of subsiding after President Trump's latest rhetoric on Truth Social, in which he claimed there would not be an end to the war without “unconditional surrender” from Iran. Crude Oil is currently trading at US$92 per barrel, the first time it has crossed the US$90 benchmark in nearly 2 years. This brings the total price gain for the week to 35% - the highest week price gain since oil futures began trading in 1983. Despite the volatility across the rest of the market precious metals remain trading relatively stably – Gold is currently trading at US$5158 per ounce, continuing to rest around the $5100 mark it has sat at for the last few days. Silver similarly is currently trading at US$84.40 per ounce, representing a gain of 2.5%.Finally, looking at some trading ideas for today: Bell Potter maintain their Buy rating on athlete tracking solutions provider Catapult Sports (ASX:CAT), with a 12 month price target of $4.85, reinforcing it as one of their preferred tech stocks in the mid cap range. They also maintain their buy rating on agricultural chemicals supplier Nufarm (ASX:NUF) with a 12 month price target of $3.60, which at the current price of $2.12 per share implies a 70% capital growth over the period. 

How do you rebuild confidence in one of the world's most scrutinized financial markets? In this episode of the Brand Intelligence Podcast, William Tyree speaks with Theresa and Alex from the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) about the strategy behind their award-winning “Capital with Confidence” campaign. At a time when global IPO activity had slowed and market narratives had turned negative, the ASX marketing team set out to shift perception and remind audiences of the exchange's underlying strength as a listings destination.  They discuss how the campaign used powerful statistics, audience-specific messaging and data-driven insights to reach founders, bankers, lawyers and investors influencing IPO decisions. The team also shares how close collaboration between marketing and the listings sales team helped turn complex financial data into compelling creative, and why those insights became the backbone of the campaign. You'll also hear how the campaign performed, including a 270% increase in website traffic and strong adoption of campaign messaging by the sales team, who began using the creative in their own pitches.  

Interview with Nic Earner, CEO, Alkane Resources Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/alkane-resources-asxalk-cash-rich-debt-free-and-positioned-for-major-growth-8556Recording date: 4th of March 2025Alkane Resources has emerged as a compelling mid-tier gold producer following its successful merger with Mandalay, operating three producing mines across Australia and Sweden with a market capitalisation of A$2.2 billion. The company is currently generating approximately A$200 million in annual net cash flow after all capital expenditures, creating what management views as a significant valuation disconnect relative to peers with similar cash flow profiles.The flagship Tomingley operation in Australia produces around 80,000 ounces annually, supported by a seven-year reserve base with substantial extension potential. The McLeans deposit contains several hundred thousand ounces, while the Roswell Western Monzodiorite lens offers potential for more than 100,000 additional ounces. Management is targeting reserve life extension beyond ten years through systematic exploration along the mineralised corridor.The company's most significant growth asset is the Boda-Kaiser copper-gold project, containing 15 million equivalent ounces with 10 million in the indicated category. The project would produce approximately 160,000 ounces of gold and 35,000 tons of copper annually, equivalent to a 250,000-300,000 ounce gold producer. Management has outlined a pragmatic permitting timeline extending through 2030 for a final investment decision, with first production targeted for the early-to-mid 2030s.Beyond organic growth, Alkane actively pursues acquisitions in the 80,000-120,000 ounce production range, targeting assets trading at lower price-to-net asset value multiples. The management team applies rigorous due diligence reflecting their combined 25-30+ years of industry experience, scrutinising water supply, geotechnical conditions, permitting pathways, and execution risks that are often inadequately addressed in promotional project studies.Near-term catalysts include potential ASX 200 index inclusion, market education on the combined entity's consistent cash generation, and valuation re-rating as institutional investors recognise the sustainability of current cash flows. The board continues evaluating capital return options if gold prices remain elevated and acquisition opportunities prove expensive, though disciplined M&A remains the preferred growth pathway.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/alkane-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Frederick H. Earnest, President & CEO of Vista GoldOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/vista-gold-nysevgz-mt-todd-redesign-cuts-capex-59-to-425m-unlocks-22b-npv-8050Recording date: 2nd March 2026Vista Gold Corp (NYSE:VGZ) is one of the most straightforward re-rating stories in the junior gold sector. The company owns the Mount Todd Gold Project in Australia's Northern Territory — one of the country's largest undeveloped gold deposits — and is executing a structured plan to reach detailed engineering commencement in 2027 and first gold production approximately 27 months thereafter.The investment case begins with a valuation gap that is both large and quantifiable. Vista Gold currently trades at approximately US$350 million. By comparison, the lowest-valued junior Australian gold producer — a company generating less than 150,000 ounces per year, which is the same production rate Mount Todd targets — carries a market capitalisation of approximately $1 billion. Higher-performing peers such as Capricorn Metals, producing 120,000 to 150,000 ounces annually, trade at valuations approaching $8 billion. The re-rating that accompanies the transition from developer to producer is the primary mechanism through which Vista Gold expects to create shareholder value.The feasibility study, completed in 2025, rightsized the project from its previous 50,000 tonne-per-day design to 15,000 tonnes per day, cutting capital costs by 59% and meaningfully reducing financing risk. Crucially, the study was modelled on a conservative $2,500 per ounce gold price. With spot gold now well above that assumption, the project's economics — and the payback period on construction debt, estimated at approximately 18 months at current prices — have improved materially without any change to the base case.The company is currently executing three parallel workstreams to advance the project toward a construction decision: modifying permits to reflect the updated project design, building an eight-to-ten person executive team in Perth to manage development and operations, and completing supplementary metallurgical and geotechnical studies. A geotechnical program, set to begin within weeks, could support steepening of the west pit wall, further improving economics by reducing the strip ratio.Financing momentum is building. A $39 million raise, upsized to approximately $44.8 million via overallotment, was oversubscribed approximately 2-to-1 by institutional investors across the US and Canada. The construction financing stack is expected to combine conventional bank debt, the Northern Australia Infrastructure Fund, a potential streaming arrangement with Wheaton Precious Metals, and an equity component. The project is estimated to support a debt ratio of 60–65% of total capital, and the company is also evaluating an ASX listing to broaden its investor base.Expansion optionality adds a further dimension. Mount Todd has been designed to allow scaling to 22,500, 30,000, or 45,000 tonnes per day, making it a credible strategic target for mid-tier and senior producers seeking large ounce additions. That optionality, combined with the project's location in a tier-one Australian jurisdiction, underpins M&A interest alongside the organic development pathway.For investors, the near-term catalysts are clear: Northern Territory permit grants, geotechnical results, federal authorisation, and a construction financing mandate. Each represents a discrete milestone with the potential to narrow the gap between Vista Gold's current developer valuation and the producer multiples it is targeting.View Vista Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/vista-gold-corporationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this episode of Keep the Change, Coco sits down with Kate to break down what due diligence (DD) really means: learning how to research opportunities, spot red flags, and make grounded decisions instead of emotional ones driven by FOMO. They open with an investment loss-and-recovery table to show why protecting capital matters like how a 50% loss requires a 100% gain to break even, and a 90% loss requires 900% and why understanding your downside tolerance humbles you, stabilises your emotions, and protects your long-term compounding.Coco and Kate explain how “fantasy vs nightmare” thinking can distort judgement, why time and a second set of eyes help make blind spots conscious, and why you should never feel pressured or “bamboozled” by complex language or sales pitches. They share two real examples: a fund marketed as delivering 20% p.a. from Australian shares, and a leveraged crypto trading fund promoted by influencers claiming 12% per month. For the Australian share fund, Kate outlines practical DD checks: unclear strategy descriptions, guaranteed returns, missing ASIC licensing/registration, investors owning units in a structure rather than the underlying shares, liquidity realities of the ASX (especially for small caps), and a major red flag when the referrer said they “got in trouble” for questions. They also discuss incentives—referral fees, what's “in it” for the person selling it—and why being told not to ask questions is a deal-breaker. Coco  notes ASIC later froze the fund's assets and alleged it may be a Ponzi scheme, with some investors reportedly putting 100% of their self-managed super into it and losing everything.In the crypto example, they describe how leverage and a lack of stop-losses led to an intraday volatility event that wiped accounts to zero, with some investors adding more money only to lose it immediately. They highlight behavioural warning signs: inflated hype, promises of replacing income easily, and marketing-driven “instant riches” narratives.The core message: emotions and money don't mix; preserving capital is the first job of an investor; ask hard questions, trust your intuition, diversify, avoid guaranteed returns, and walk away when things feel off. They encourage listeners to bet on themselves, move steadily over time, and not let losses destroy confidence and compounding. They invite DMs for questions, ask listeners to share the episode, and emphasise getting more money into the hands of women who are educated and wise about money for community ripple effects.00:00 Welcome to Keep the Change + What ‘Due Diligence' Really Means01:29 Why Losses Hurt More Than Gains: The Investment Loss & Recovery Table03:54 Staying Grounded: Emotions, ‘Fantasy vs Nightmare,' and Avoiding FOMO07:28 Make the Unconscious Conscious: Blind Spots, Second Opinions, and Taking Time08:53 Real-World Cautionary Tales: Two Investments Going Wrong (Setting the Stage)11:18 Case Study #1 The ‘20% p.a.'

The Aussie market stumbled today, posting one of its worst sessions in weeks as escalating Middle East tensions unnerved investors. The ASX 200 retreated sharply, weighed down by widespread caution, though the Energy sector provided a rare bright spot. Oil prices soared after reports of a blockade at the Strait of Hormuz, pushing local coal miners higher. In contrast, it was a "sea of red" elsewhere; gold miners slumped despite record bullion prices as investors locked in profits, and Live360 plummeted to its worst level in a year following earnings. Magellan Financial was the undeniable standout, soaring over 20% after announcing a blockbuster $1.6 billion merger with Barrenjoey. All eyes now pivot to Wednesday's critical GDP print.

The ASX 200 ended Monday little changed as escalating Middle East tensions sparked sharp sector swings. Energy stocks soared 5.5% to a 1.5-year high, while gold miners jumped on safe-haven demand. Defensive staples gained, but banks and tech fell amid global uncertainty. Investors await potential US-Iran talks and key economic data including Australian GDP and US jobs figures this week.

More than 70 companies reported this week and while the ASX 200 continues to push record highs, stock reactions remain ruthless. In this episode, Ben Clark argues it's been one of the strongest reporting seasons in years, with banks, miners and consumer names broadly beating expectations. He explains why Woolworths' resurgence caught the market off guard, why WiseTech's AI defence matters more than its job cuts, and why Monadelphous and Ramsay may be turning points. Clark also highlights heavy insider buying across tech, suggesting recent weakness may be overdone. Despite volatility, he sees momentum building into the second half.

The ASX wrapped up a strong February with a 1.3% weekly gain, its best monthly performance in nearly a year. Mining and financials led the charge while consumer staples lagged after Coles underwhelmed compared to Woolworths. Block surged despite announcing 40% workforce cuts, while Harvey Norman rose despite Jerry Harvey's disappointment. Investors now watch ex-dividend stocks and key US data ahead.

Welcome to Printing Money Episode 36!  For this episode Danny is joined by a new guest, John Barnes (Founder and President, The Barnes Global Advisors, Founder and CEO, Metal Powder Works (MPW.ASX). From career foundations in industrial development John has built both an AM consultancy and a metal AM powders company. We are thankful to have his perspective here. This episode starts with a look at John's background and what's brought him to this point. Then, Danny and John review the MILAM 2026 event which occurred earlier this month in Tampa Bay. From Tampa the conversation heads to Australia as a nexus for the global metal AM powder market.  John and Danny dive into dynamics driving that. After the low-down down under, the conversation turns to Printing Money's why and wherefore — 3DP/AM deal analysis around the globe from VulcanForms and Hadrian in the USA, to SWISSTO12 and Additive Drives in Europe, to Snapmaker in China, and more. The best quote of the episode is actually a paraphrase from Seinfeld, as John drops “The whale is the largest mammal in the world, but it doesn't have to be!” seamlessly amidst incisive deal analysis. Danny and John will continue the discussion in person at AMS 2026 this week in New York City.  Meanwhile, please enjoy Episode 36 and check out our previous episodes too.

Atomic Eagle offers a compelling entry into the uranium bull market, backed by a proven team from Matador Capital—the original architects behind Boss Energy's success and Lotus Resources' recent mine restart. Through a strategic RTO of GovEx Uranium, they've acquired the advanced Muntanga project in mining-friendly Zambia: a 47.4M lb resource at 344 ppm U3O8, with a feasibility study showing robust economics at $90/lb uranium. But the current investment thesis is not that of a mine build story. Atomic Eagle's focus is on aggressive exploration to double resources via a current 50,000m drill program, targeting a 40-100M lb upside which conceptually could see a mega-mine producing 4-5M lbs/year through low-cost heap leaching (90%+ recovery with low acid consumption). Well-funded with ~A$20M cash, Atomic is undervalued when compared, on an enterprise value to pounds-in-the-ground basis, to ASX peers like Deep Yellow and Bannerman. Near-term catalysts: Resource upgrade (early March), feasibility re-release, and exploration drill results. Bonus optionality: Potential recovery of the world-class Madaouela asset in Niger (120M lbs at >1,300 ppm), if current talks with the Niger government are fruitful. In this MSE episode, listen to Atomic Eagle CEO Phil Hoskins explain the company's full investment thesis. https://atomiceagle.com.au/ ASX: AEU - OTCQB: AEUXF 00:00 Intro 00:34 Meet Atomic Eagle: ASX RTO of GoviEx & Who's Behind It 01:28 Matador's Uranium Track Record: Boss Energy to Lotus Restart Success 03:12 Why the GoviEx Deal Happened: ASX Valuation Comps & Timing 04:31 US OTCQB Listing: Tapping North American Uranium Investors 06:05 Friedland Connections & Geopolitics: US/China/Russia in Africa 08:26 The Muntanga Project Breakdown: Resource, Tenure & 2025 FS Context 10:08 Growth Strategy: New Drilling, Resource Upgrade & 4–5M lb/yr Heap Leach Concept 12:32 Funding & 2025 Drill Plan: 50,000m Program and Priority Targets 14:15 Zambia Advantage: Mining-Friendly Jurisdiction, Infrastructure & Export Route 17:12 The Niger Asset: Expropriation, Arbitration & Potential Upside 19:27 Near-Term Catalysts + Technical Upsides: Recovery, Acid Use, Permitting 21:42 Wrap-Up, Tickers, and Sponsor Coverage Ahead Sponsor Atomic Eagle pays MSE a United States dollar ten thousand per month coverage fee.
