Wall Street drifted lower overnight as the recent recovery rally took a pause. The SP500 was down 0.53% and the Nasdaq 0.38%. That was at least slightly better than the futures trading suggested before the regular day session began.The big action was in bitcoin, which dropped 6.4% for its sharpest daily decline since March, according to The Wall Street Journal. BTC is generally considered a great barometer of risk sentiment, so the recent action suggests any share market rally may struggle to get going. We know the market is sweating the next Fed meeting on December 10.SPI futures up 6 points. ASX to open modestly higher.The current FedWatch reading says odds of a rate cut are now 87.6%. Added to this is Trump announcing he's decided on his pick for next Fed Chair, without yet revealing who. For big tech, Nvidia rose 1.6% after announcing a $2bn investment and partnership with a firm called Synopsys.

Wall St kicked off the festive season with a slide in the first trading session of December, as a broad Cryptocurrency sell off dented general investor sentiment. Flagship currency Bitcoin slumped over 6% to below US$86,000, adding to the over 30% drop in price experienced over the last 2 months from highs of $125,000 in October. The S&P 500 fell 0.4%, the Dow Jones lost 0.7%, and the Nasdaq shed 0.4%. It was a relatively stable day across the European markets, with the exception of Germany, where the DAX slid over 1% after monthly manufacturing data came in at a 9-month low, sparking a sell off. Asia saw a mixed day as the Chinese CSI and Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 1.1% and 0.7% respectively, while the Japanese Nikkei slid 1.9%. Locally yesterday, the ASX 200 retreated 0.6%, with 8 of the 11 key sectors posting losses.

Today's increase means that the silver price has now hit a 100% year-on-year rise, outpacing Gold. And finally Iron Ore prices have increased by 2% to just under US$107 per tonne, driven by Chinese demand and a weaker US dollar.Trading ideas:And now we'll end on some trading ideas for your consideration today.

In tonight's Australian Stock Market Show, Fil, Janine and Pedro discuss whether it's time to buy with 8 ASX techs that just hit rock bottom.

Janine examines the chart of CBA to determine whether these bearish predictions are genuine warnings or exaggerated calls designed to spark panic selling and boost broker profits?

Gold took off this year, fuelled by inflation fears, geopolitical tension, and a wave of investor enthusiasm.

The Aussie market ended the week in the red, falling 1.6 percent after touching a six month low at the open, with a hotter US jobs report keeping investors on edge ahead of the Fed's December decision. Wall Street's weak lead weighed on every major sector locally, especially materials and energy, while the major banks extended their recent slide. Lovisa sank on softer like for like sales, while WiseTech was one of the few winners after reaffirming guidance at its AGM. With November now shaping up as the ASX's worst month in more than two years, attention turns to next week's backlog of US economic data and local inflation figures.

Interview with Nic Earner, Managing Director of Alkane Resources Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/alkane-resources-asxalk-post-merger-gold-producer-targets-180k-aueq-ounces-7916Recording date: 17th November 2025Alkane Resources has successfully completed its transformational merger with Mandalay Resources, establishing itself as a diversified mid-tier gold producer with three operating mines across Australia and Sweden. The integration, finalized in August 2025, has delivered on all key strategic objectives while positioning the company for its next phase of growth in a strengthening gold price environment.The merger has transformed Alkane's market profile substantially. Production guidance now stands at 160,000-175,000 ounces annually, with management targeting a 180,000-ounce run rate by next year. Market capitalization has expanded from approximately A$900 million at the pro-forma merger date to around A$1.4 billion currently. Trading liquidity has improved dramatically, with daily ASX turnover reaching A$8 million and the company securing placement in the ASX 300 index while approaching ASX 200 status.Perhaps most significantly, Alkane maintains a pristine balance sheet with A$170 million in cash and bullion and zero debt beyond equipment financing. This financial strength, combined with the company's largely unhedged production profile, creates substantial cash generation capacity. Managing Director Nic Earner explained the mathematics: with 80% of production unhedged, "each 100 bucks you add to the gold price, it's 15 million bucks" in additional cash flow.Looking ahead, management has established a 12-month timeline for potential acquisitions while maintaining strict jurisdictional discipline, focusing exclusively on tier-one regions including Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada, and Scandinavia. Simultaneously, operational priorities center on cost reduction at Sweden's Bjorkdal mine, where initiatives could reduce all-in sustaining costs by 20-25% from US$2,700 to approximately US$2,200 through production increases and grade optimization.The company's disciplined capital allocation framework, operational focus, and accelerating cash generation position Alkane as a compelling investment opportunity in the current gold market environment, with management emphasizing that superior cash accumulation should drive valuation re-rating versus comparable peers.View Alkane Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/alkane-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

My guest this week is Richard Hemming from Under the Radar Report. He shares three key investing lessons from his experience investing in small caps on the ASX. Richard starts with diversification. He stresses its importance in small caps due to higher volatility. Under the Radar limits any stock to 10% of a portfolio. They hold 14 to 20 stocks in flagship portfolios and 14 to 16 in dividend ones. Richard buys small positions first—1% or 2%—and builds to 5%. If it hits 10%, he takes profits.As friends of Shares for Beginners, Under the Radar Report is happy to offer listeners 10% off our products.

It’s one thing to be told you can’t have it all. It’s another to be told you can’t be both a CEO and a mother. When an investor said exactly that to Dr Catriona Wallace, she didn’t flinch. She refused to choose and went on to found Flamingo AI, one of the world’s first artificial intelligence companies, becoming one of only two women in history to list a female-led tech company on the ASX. In this conversation, Catriona and I talk about what it takes to hold your ground in the face of sexism and scrutiny, how she stayed true to herself while leading a global company, and why she believes you can be both an ambitious leader and a present parent. We also dive into her work in ethical AI, exploring how she uses AI tools not just to improve productivity but also to reflect, make better decisions, and even coach her own AI companions toward self-awareness. Catriona and I discuss: The investor who told Catriona she couldn’t be both a CEO and a mother - and why she refused to choose The million-dollar investment she walked away from (because of her nose ring) How she learned to lead without compromising who she is What “non-linear thinking” looks like when you’re raising five kids while running a global company How she uses AI companions for reflection, productivity, and even spiritual insight The eight core principles that guide ethical AI development Why authenticity - not conformity - is the future of leadership KEY QUOTES “The moment you start to compromise and change, more things will compromise and change - and you lose who you are.” “I’m in deep love with AI, even though I’m one of the people saying it might kill us - so we’d better do it ethically.” Connect with Dr Catriona Wallace on Instagram, LinkedIn, and via her website.
