The Aussie market snapped its winning streak despite a strong US lead, with the ASX200 turning lower after RBA Governor Michele Bullock warned inflation may not fall as quickly as hoped.

CSL helped lift healthcare, the only sector in the green, and Macquarie fell on leadership changes. We also cover moves from PEXA, Boss Energy, and Lynas Rare Earths, plus results from Alphabet and Tesla.

Ep. 320 Breathe - Rev. Sue MillerBorn From the Sunday Service at the Center for Spiritual Living in Redding on 7-13-25
The RBA held rates steady this week, surprising markets but aligning with its wait-and-see approach ahead of upcoming CPI data. Meanwhile globally, Trump confirmed tariffs will rise from August 1, sparking volatility across the markets. On one hand, copper jumped on news of a 50% US import tariff, with traders rushing to reroute shipments. However, the prospect of a 200% tariff on imported drugs has rattled healthcare producers, with CSL advocating for targeted measures over blanket tariffs to avoid disrupting global supply chains.In this week's wrap, Grady covers:(0:10): the RBA's shock rate hold and future outlook(1:13): Trump's August 1 tariff date and how the market reacted(2:02): the impact of fresh tariff threats on the copper and healthcare sectors(4:38): how the market performed this week so far(5:20): the best and worst performing stocks and ETFs this week(5:48): economic news items to look out for.
The ASX 200 drifted 9 points lower to 8580 (0.1%) as we wait and see what the weekend brings on tariff news. Banks eased back with CBA down 0.5% with the Big Bank Basket down to $283.17 (). MQG fell 1.5% and insurers also under pressure. REITS slipped, GMG down 1.8% with SCG off 1.3% as yields rose to 4.33%. Healthcare eased, CSL down another 0.6% with FPH falling 1.7%. Industrials also on the wane with WES down 0.7% and ALL down 1.1% with the techs under pressure too. XRO falling again by 1.5%. Retailers in trouble too, JBH down 2.1% and LOV down 2.5%. The bright spot was resources. Iron ore and rare earths. BHP up 2.8% as iron ore prices rose again, RIO up 2.3% with LYC up 16.7% and ILU flying 22.9% on US Pentagon news on MP Materials. Lithium stocks also doing well, LTR up 1.3% and PLS rising 1.6% with MIN storming 7.8% ahead. Gold miners sagged, NST continued its drop, down 2.2% and EVN off 1.5%. STO fell 0.9% on broker research on bid, coal better, WHC up 2.7% and uranium flat.In corporate news, JLG rallied 22.6% on news that PE is bidding 400c in a scheme.

¡Como me gusta este podcast! ¡Como me gustan estos coches! Excesivos, brutales… sencillamente son, para mí, los coches de competición en circuito más espectaculares de la historia. Fruto de un reglamento poco restrictivo… no como los de ahora… Si conoces los “Silueta” te va a interesar mucho este video, pero si nos los conoces… ¡te va a interesar más! Te lo prometo. Lo primero que hay que hacer, porque quizás alguno no lo sepa, es responder a esta pregunta: ¿Qué es un coche “silueta”? Lo primero que hay que decir es que los “silueta” son coches del entonces llamado Grupo 5, pero no todos los grupo 5 son coches de la categoría “silueta”. Los Grupo 5 nacieron en 1966 e inicialmente eran coches nacidos para la competición. Te pongo algunos ejemplos: Alfa Romeo TT33TT/12, Alpine Renault A442, Ford GT40, Ferrari 512 M/S, Matra Simca MS670 o Porsche 917 por citar unos ejemplos… coches preciosos y que, seguro, merecen otro video para ellos. Pero en 1976 y hasta 1982, época de mi adolescencia y juventud, nace la cuarta y última generación del Grupo 5 y estos son los “silueta”. La FIA creó esta categoría para coches derivados de la calle, pero ampliamente, yo diría que muy ampliamente, modificados. La federación exigía que el capó, parabrisas, puertas completas y techo fueran los mismos que en el coche original. Pero lo demás, incluidos los pasos de rueda y la parte posterior era libre. El motor debía contar con el bloque motor original y en la posición original. Es decir, no podías hacer un 911 con motor delantero, pero sí ponerlo más bajo o más adelantado y prepararlo a fondo, incluso aumentando la cilindrada o añadiendo “turbos” a placer siempre que el bloque fuese original. Lo mismo sucedía con la suspensión, debía ser de igual sistema, pero de diseño y componentes libres. Había exigencias en cuanto a normas de seguridad, pesos mínimos y dimensiones, pero en general las normas eran muy “laxas” y ello dio lugar a verdaderos monstruos de la competición… ¿Qué no te lo crees? Vamos a ver unos cuantos… 1. BMW 3.0 CSL (1972). Uno de los primeros trabajos del departamento M fue la fabricación de un coupé de la serie E9 para ser preparado para competición. 2. Lancia Stratos Turbo (1976). Terminada su etapa en los Rallyes el Stratos tuvo una segunda oportunidad en los circuitos de la mano del reglamento de los silueta… pero no tan exitosa. 3. Chevrolet Corvette Greenwood (1976). He elegido de este modelo la versión denominada “Spirit of Le Mans 1976”. Este coche, como un Ferrari que veremos más adelante, participaba dentro de una categoría de la norteamericana IMSA. 4. Porsche 911-935 (1976). Uno de los “silueta” por excelencia. Y en el caso concreto del 911-935 de nominado “Moby Dick” probablemente el más brutal de todos y al que dedicamos un video completo titulado “Moby Dick: el Porsche Turbo más brutal” que te animo a que lo veas. 5. BMW 320i Turbo (1977). El CSL era demasiado grande y demasiado antiguo así que BMW pensó en un más manejable serie 3, pero eso sí, con turbo y una potencia que según algunas fuentes llegaron a los 900 CV… 6. Ferrari 512 BB LM (1977). Este coche corrió Le Mans encuadrado en la categoría norteamericana IMSA… que fue prohibida en esta prueba en 1983. 7. Toyota Celica LB Turbo (1977). El apoyo de Toyota Alemania al preparador, muy prestigioso, Schnitzer, hizo posible que naciese este modelo que declaraba 560 CV para un peso claramente por debajo de los 900 kg. 8. Ford Capri Turbo Zakspeed (1978). Ford quiso competir en la categoría “hasta 2 litros” del Grupo 5 “siluetas” y para ello encargó al prestigiosos preparados Zakspeed un motor de 1.4 litros para montar en un espectacular y aerodinámico Ford Capri. 9. Lancia Beta Montecarlo Turbo (1979). Lancia tenía una base excelente, como era el coupé Montecarlo con dos plazas y motor central, para crear un silueta destinada al Grupo 5 de la FIA. 10. Mazda RX-7 252i (1979). El grupo 5 “Silueta” tuvo continuidad en Japón una vez acabada su vida en Europa, en el Campeonado del Mundo FIA. Y hubo muchos coches japoneses preparados bajo este reglamento. Conclusión. Siempre digo lo mismo: Los reglamentos actuales son tan estrictos y tan detallados que dejan poco a la imaginación… antes no era así y eso producía coches como estos, como los Grupo B, como los prototipos y Formula 1 de los años 70 y 80.

Brian springs an awful Aslan casting surprise on Nate, and the results are delightful. The SASF discussion of Greta Gerwig's new Netflix Narnia series ranges far afield. Planet Narnia, which book of the series is Nate's favorite, Lewis's repeated character archetypes, adaptation of books to film... this one has all things Lewis. Including Nate's claim that Edmund / Eustace / Digory all behave the way they do because CSL had thumbs that couldn't bend.
