The ASX 200 hit record highs today, closing at 9068 up 78 points (0.9%) in a very strong session. Today, it was banks and industrials doing much of the heavy lifting — along with a solid contribution from the gold sector. MQG led the charge, jumping over 5% on the back of news it had sold some of its data centre assets — good news all around. The big kicker came at 11:30 am, with jobs data showing an unemployment rate of 4.5%. That gives the RBA plenty of room to cut rates further on Melbourne Cup Day. Across the industrials, gains were broad-based: WES up 1.3%, WOW up 1.9% , GMG up 4.9% and buoyed by enthusiasm for data centre exposure following Macquarie's sales. CSL added 1.8%. TLS rose 0.4%. The banks were steady if unspectacular, while insurers and wealth managers shone. HUB soared 10.5%. AMP also rallied 8.5% on the back of a positive quarterly update.The technology sector, however, missed the memo on record highs — WTC and XRO both slipped around 1.4%, continuing their recent stumbles.The resources sector was busy once again. BHP edged slightly higher, while FMG and RIO eased. The gold miners were the standout as gold hit fresh record highs. NEM up 3.4% and EVN up 3.3%. The rare earths and lithium stocks came under pressure after Scott Bessent talked of an extension of the 100% tariffs deadline if China eased export restrictions. LYC fell 5.7%. Other rare earth names substantially also weakened in sympathy.In corporate news, MYX rose 11.3% after it received court approval for its takeover by Cosette, with no wriggle room left — though FIRB approval is still required. RIO is searching for strategic partners to develop a huge copper deposit inBougainville. TWE edged 1.8% higher after its AGM, where Chairman John Mullen discussed ongoing challenges and sales developments in China.On the economic front, the jobs report confirmed unemployment rising to 4.5%, with a steady participation rate. That combination pushed bond yields lower, the Australian dollar weaker, and equity markets higher — a triple treat for investors heading into Friday and more US results.Asian markets rise, Japan up 0.5% China up 0.1% and HK down 0.4%.10-year yields fell to 4.17% on jobs data.European markets slightly lower. UK GDP today.Want to invest with Marcus Today? The Managed Strategy Portfolio is designed for investors seeking exposure to our strategy while we do the hard work for you.

In this KE Report Company Update, we're joined by Craig Nicol, Founder and CEO of Graphene Manufacturing Group (TSX.V:GMG - OTCQX:GMGMF), for a detailed discussion on the company's recent developments - from patent milestones to global product rollout plans and revenue growth strategies. Key Discussion Highlights: Thermal XR Patent Approval (Australia): Craig explains the significance of GMG's newly granted patent for its Thermal-XR® graphene coating, which improves corrosion resistance and heat transfer in heat exchangers. This 20-year patent provides strong IP protection and is expected to pave the way for similar approvals in the U.S., Europe, and other regions. Expanding Global Reach: The company has launched its first multi-language, palletized product line for distributors, featuring G® Lubricant and Thermal XR®. With labeling in 16 languages, GMG is now positioned to sell across key international markets through an expanding distributor network. Go-to-Market Strategy: Craig outlines how GMG is focusing on scalable distribution - moving from bulk industrial customers to retail-ready formats that can reach global partners in the automotive, HVAC, and industrial maintenance sectors. These smaller, ready-to-ship packs will enable more consistent sales growth and global availability. Revenue Outlook: While fiscal 2025 revenue dipped slightly due to lumpy project sales, Craig emphasizes that upcoming palletized product distribution should drive more repeatable, diversified revenue streams.   Upcoming Catalysts: Pending EPA approval for Thermal XR® in the U.S. Distributor rollout and initial palletized product orders Updates on Super-G and battery development progress Please keep the questions coming!

Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd (TSX-V:GMG, OTCQX:GMGMF) managing director and CEO Craig Nicol talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's recent regulatory and commercial developments. Nicol confirmed that the company had successfully secured REACH registration for Europe, a move that unlocks access to major markets for GMG's coatings and lubricants. "The ability to sell into Europe for G LUBRICANT is a huge opportunity," Nicol said. He explained that the product offers significant fuel savings, particularly for trucks, which opens strong commercial potential across Europe. He also provided an update on the rollout of THERMAL-XR, saying the company is awaiting EPA approval in the US, with hopes for a decision by December. The approval would pave the way for larger volumes via GMG's partner Nu-Calgon, the biggest distributor of HVACR chemicals in North America. Nicol described North America as the largest market for air conditioning system coatings. To support product adoption, GMG has launched the “Spray Academy,” which offers global online training for technicians. Once certified, technicians can offer a five-year warranty on the THERMAL-XR coating, a key step in building customer confidence. Looking ahead, Nicol said the company is working to finalise logistics partners and warehousing to prepare for order fulfilment. He noted that some distributor orders may be announced while others will not, depending on scale. Visit Proactive's YouTube channel for more interviews and updates.

VIDEO: Omelia del Papa ai giovani ➜ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xtUif9lvoETESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8254PAPA LEONE DEBUTTA CON I GIOVANI: SCELTE RADICALI ED EUCARESTIA di Nico Spuntoni Alla faccia di chi storceva il naso per il «chiasso» dei pellegrini nelle strade e nelle stazioni di Roma, il Giubileo dei giovani è stato un successo. Le immagini dall'alto della spianata di Tor Vergata strapiena trasmettono al mondo il messaggio di una Chiesa viva e ancora attrattiva. Le giornate di sabato e domenica con la veglia di preghiera e la Messa hanno segnato la consacrazione della popolarità di Leone XIV.Il Papa discreto e gentile è atterrato con l'elicottero nel tardo pomeriggio di sabato e dall'alto ha potuto osservare come la macchina organizzativa della Chiesa ce l'avesse fatta ancora una volta, nonostante il caldo di agosto, la diffusione dei conflitti e l'ostilità della maggior parte dei media. Se gli iscritti erano arrivati a mezzo milione, i due momenti clou del Giubileo dei giovani hanno visto salire la partecipazione ad un milione.Numeri importanti, imparagonabili con i due milioni del 2000 per il quarto di secolo di distanza segnato dalla crisi demografica d'Europa e dalla galoppata inarrestabile della secolarizzazione. Prevost ha salutato i fedeli in papamobile e poi, a piedi, si è avviato verso il palco imbracciando la croce giubilare seguito da 200 ragazzi. Rispondendo - in spagnolo, italiano e inglese - alle tre domande che gli sono state poste sul palco, il Papa ha toccato l'argomento dei social («questi strumenti risultano ambigui quando sono dominati da logiche commerciali e da interessi che spezzano le nostre relazioni in mille intermittenze») ed ha detto che l'amicizia con Cristo deve essere la nostra stella polare. Se le amicizie «riflettono questo intenso legame con Gesù, diventano certamente sincere, generose e vere», ha spiegato il Pontefice.Nella seconda risposta sul tema del coraggio di scegliere, Leone ha detto che «viene dall'amore, che Dio ci manifesta in Cristo». «Per essere liberi - ha affermato Prevost - occorre partire dal fondamento stabile, dalla roccia che sostiene i nostri passi. Questa roccia è un amore che ci precede, ci sorprende e ci supera infinitamente: è l'amore di Dio». Parlando del senso della vita il Pontefice ha chiesto di pregare per le due pellegrine, Maria e Pascale, morte in questi giorni a Roma e per un giovane spagnolo ricoverato per il morso di un cane.SCELTE RADICALILeone ha invitato i giovani a fare «scelte radicali e piene di significato», come «il matrimonio, l'ordine sacro e la consacrazione religiosa» che esprimono «il dono di sè, libero e liberante, che ci rende davvero felici», scelte che «danno senso alla nostra vita, trasformandola a immagine dell'Amore perfetto, che l'ha creata e redenta da ogni male». Ai giovani Leone ha raccomandato di «cercare con passione la verità». E sull'ambito incontro con Cristo, il Papa ha pronunciato uno dei passaggi più belli:«Carissimi giovani, l'amico che sempre accompagna la nostra coscienza è Gesù. Volete incontrare veramente il Signore Risorto? Ascoltate la sua parola, che è Vangelo di salvezza! Cercate la giustizia, rinnovando il modo di vivere, per costruire un mondo più umano! Servite il povero, testimoniando il bene che vorremmo sempre ricevere dal prossimo! Rimanete uniti con Gesù nell'Eucaristia. Adorate l'Eucarestia, fonte della vita eterna! Studiate, lavorate, amate secondo lo stile di Gesù, il Maestro buono che cammina sempre al nostro fianco».Un appello, dunque, a non relegare la fede nella sola sfera privata come tanti vorrebbero, ma a lasciarsi contagiare dal messaggio evangelico nella quotidianità. Ma il momento più intenso della veglia è stato quello dell'adorazione eucaristica, nel silenzio assordante rispettato da un milione di persone.Il Papa è tornato in Vaticano mentre i pellegrini hanno passato la notte a Tor Vergata e si sono risvegliati la mattina successiva con il giro in jeep del Pontefice tra sventolii di bandiere, cori e lanci di regali in sua direzione. Grande entusiasmo per Leone che sul palco ha prima scherzato dicendo «spero abbiate riposato un po'» e poi ha subito messo in chiaro quali erano le priorità dell'evento, ricordando: «Ora iniziamo la celebrazione che è il più grande dono che Cristo ci ha lasciato». Se sabato aveva citato Benedetto XVI, nell'omelia di ieri ha omaggiato il suo predecessore Francesco riprendendo un passaggio del discorso della Gmg di Lisbona ma non il discusso «Todos, todos, todos». «Non allarmiamoci se ci troviamo interiormente assetati, inquieti, incompiuti, desiderosi di senso e di futuro […]. Non siamo malati, siamo vivi!», ha detto Prevost citando Bergoglio.GESU' AL CENTROAnche l'omelia è stata fortemente cristocentrica ed ha ricordato che «la nostra speranza è Gesù» con l'invito a rimanere uniti a Lui coltivando la Sua amicizia con «la preghiera, l'adorazione, la Comunione eucaristica, la Confessione frequente, la carità generosa» sull'esempio dei futuri santi Carlo Acutis e Piergiorgio Frassati. Leone ha chiesto ai giovani partecipanti di aspirare alla santità e poi li ha affidati alla Vergine per il ritorno a casa nei 146 Paesi di provenienza. Al termine della messa il pensiero di Prevost è andato ai «giovani di Gaza, dell'Ucraina, delle terre bagnate dal sangue provocato dai conflitti».Infine l'appuntamento con Seul fra due anni col tema «Abbiate coraggio!» per la prima Gmg da Papa.Il Giubileo dei giovani è stata senz'altro una bella prova della macchina organizzativa ecclesiastica ed in particolare del Dicastero per l'evangelizzazione guidato da monsignor Rino Fisichella, ma si è trasformato anche in un successo personale di Leone ed ha giovato anche della spinta d'entusiasmo per questo inizio di pontificato. Prevost ci è riuscito mettendosi di lato per lasciare che l'attenzione di tutti si concentrasse su Gesù-Eucaristia. I numeri testimoniano un effetto Leone: dagli Stati Uniti, infatti, suo Paese d'origine, sono arrivati oltre 10mila pellegrini mentre 25 anni fa erano stati appena 3000.Ma questo Giubileo dei giovani ci ha messo di fronte anche alla persistenza di un sentimento anticlericale da parte di una frangia minoritaria della società italiana a cui ha dato proprio tanto fastidio il rumore dei canti e delle preghiere delle comitive di giovani in giro per Roma, mentre perde la voce quando si tengono manifestazioni che talvolta sfociano in violenze e non tira fuori la «laicità dello Stato» per i cortei islamici con le donne separate dagli uomini. Una Chiesa debole e accondiscendente non fa paura ai suoi nemici, mentre le immagini della spianata stracolma di nuove generazioni di fedeli e un Papa che invita a fare «scelte radicali» come il matrimonio e l'ordinazione religiosa li terrorizzano. Bene così.Nota di BastaBugie: Andrea Zambrano nell'articolo seguente dal titolo "Sentinella, la notte è finita" ricorda le parole di Giovanni Paolo II riprese da Leone nel giubileo dei giovani.Ecco l'articolo completo pubblicato su La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana il 4 agosto 2025:Quasi nessuno del milione di giovani che sabato e domenica si è dato appuntamento nella spianata di Tor Vergata per il Giubileo con Papa Leone XIV era ancora nato quando in quello stesso luogo, 25 anni prima, un altro Papa e altri giovani si ritrovarono per lo stesso motivo in occasione della Giornata mondiale della Gioventù e del Giubileo. Eppure, c'era nell'aria un filo invisibile capace di unire nel tempo e nello spazio quei due momenti.Il Giubileo dei giovani appena concluso ha ricevuto in eredità il ricordo di quella straordinaria veglia, che Papa Leone con grande umiltà ha citato; quella veglia che all'inizio del nuovo millennio stava proiettando quei giovani di allora verso il progetto della loro vita. Quel filo che si è intrecciato nei ricordi di chi allora c'era e oggi si è definitivamente sciolto con commozione nel vedere i propri figli calcare gli stessi passi terrosi sotto l'assolata piana romana di Tor Vergata.È una storia unica di genitori e figli, quella di Tor Vergata, una storia che solo la storia della Chiesa oggi può raccontare, unica istituzione rimasta nel putrido disfacimento attuale capace di trasmettere vita, parole, verità e ideali di generazione in generazione con la stessa forza e la medesima freschezza. Quei padri che allora appena ventenni hanno visto dopo 25 anni la realizzazione plastica di quelle parole di San Giovanni Paolo II riflesse negli occhi emozionati dei loro figli.Oggi quel Papa è proclamato santo a furor di popolo e oggi, forse soltanto oggi, i 2 milioni di giovani di Tor Vergata di allora hanno capito la potenza di quelle parole e compreso quanto quel discorso nel corso degli anni si sia incarnato nella storia. Chi di loro ha scelto la via del matrimonio, chi invece ha seguito la vocazione alla vita consacrata: tutti hanno compreso, consegnando ai loro figli le atmosfere di quel luogo, che il quarto di secolo appena trascorso agli occhi di Dio non è altro, giusto per citare proprio il salmo di ieri, «un turno di veglia nella notte».Perché la veglia si addice alle sentinelle e "sentinelle del mattino" è stata per tutti questi anni la definizione straordinariamente profetica che San Giovanni Paolo II, prendendo a prestito le parole di Isaia, affidò a quei ragazzi, usciti dal «secolo che muore dove i giovani venivano convocati per imparare a odiare» nell'accompagnarli per il futuro. «Non vi presterete ad essere strumenti di violenza, difenderete la pace, pagando anche di persona se necessario, non vi rassegnerete, difenderete la vita, vi sforzerete con ogni vostra energ

Should you be concerned by the jobs report? The July jobs report showed nonfarm payrolls grew by 73k, which missed the estimate of 100k. Unfortunately, the news got even worse as you dug into the report. The prior two months saw major negative revisions as June was revised from 147k to just 14k and May was revised from 125k to just 19k. This amounted to a total negative revision of 258k when looking at the two months combined. Another negative was job growth in the month of July was heavily reliant on health care & social assistance as the category added 73.3k jobs in the month. This means that this category essentially carried the report as the total jobs created in the month topped the full headline number. There were some other areas that saw growth with retail trade adding 15,700 jobs, leisure and hospitality adding 5k jobs, and construction adding 2k jobs. Unfortunately, there were more categories than normal that saw declines with information falling by 2k jobs, government was down 10k jobs, manufacturing declined by 11k jobs, and professional and business services declined by 14k jobs. While all this sounds negative, I still wouldn't panic over this report. The main reason is the unemployment rate remains historically low at 4.2% and layoffs have not materially increased. I would even make the claim that the unemployment rate is healthier than it appears. Of those that are unemployed, the average weeks unemployed now totals 24.1 and those that have been unemployed for more than 27 weeks jumped to 1.82 million, which is about one-quarter of all the unemployed. If you have been out of work more than 27 weeks, how hard have you really been looking or are some of those really just retired now? It seems we are in an environment where companies are keeping their employees and limiting new hires. With more clarity on the trade deals and tariffs now, that could help stabilize the labor market, but my main concern is are there enough qualified candidates to truly fuel job growth? A large problem we have discussed in the past is an aging population that has seen assets climb tremendously, which has enabled many near retirement age the luxury to retire. While I don't want to say this is a negative, the working age population or those between 25 & 54 remained near historical highs around 83%. One positive in the report I didn't discuss yet was the fact that wage inflation came in above expectations at 3.9%, which is nice considering the decline in inflation we have seen this year. While again I may sound negative on this report, I want to be clear that there is no reason to be overly concerned yet, I would be interested to see how the next few reports look before being worried about a potential recession in the near term.   Job openings declined in the month of June The June Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, commonly referred to as the JOLTs report, showed job openings declined to 7.4 million, down 275,000 from the prior month. While this may sound problematic, it is important to remember this is still a historically healthy level for job openings and it comes against a back drop of a historically low unemployment rate. I have said this for many months, but I believe there is even further room for job openings to decline without there being a problem for the labor market. Taking that concept one step further, I would be quite surprised to see growth in job openings from here. The main reason for that is there just aren't enough people to fill those openings especially since it appears many companies are choosing to retain employees rather than look for new ones. I say this because layoffs continue to remain quite low. In the month of June, they totaled 1.6 million and really since 2021 they have maintained that level with the average monthly total since January 2021 standing around 1.57 million. If we look pre-covid, from December 2000 (when the data first started) to February 2020, layoffs averaged 1.91 million per month. Even though you will always hear news about various companies implementing layoffs, I believe we remain in a healthy labor market with good unemployment and low layoffs. This healthy labor market remains one of the key reasons for why I believe the economy will remain in a good spot for the foreseeable future.   GDP came in stronger expected, another good sign for the economy! While Q2 gross domestic product, also known as GDP, jumped 3% and easily topped the estimate of 2.3%, the numbers were not as strong as the headlines indicate. With the tariffs having a large impact on trade and business inventories, this report is the opposite of Q1 when actual results were much better than the headlines showed. In Q1 companies were likely trying to get ahead of tariffs so they were trying to load up on inventory and import a lot more foreign goods than normal. This led to a 37.9% increase in imports during Q1 which subtracted 4.66% from the headline GDP number. In Q2 we saw a complete reversal as imports fell 30.3% and added 5.18% to the headline GDP number. The change in private inventories was also extremely volatile during these last two periods considering it added 2.59% to the headline number in Q1, but subtracted 3.17% from the headline number in Q2 as many businesses were likely working through excess inventory. I bring all this up not to say that the GDP report was bad and in fact it was still a good number, but rather to show the messiness in the numbers for the first two quarters. We should not see the type of volatility that we have seen in trade going forward as it normally has a small impact on the overall report. The main reason I see Q2 GDP as a good report is because the consumer, which is the main driver in the long-term, held up well. There was a small 1.1% increase in services spending and goods saw an increase of 2.2%. Considering we are primarily a service driven economy; I do worry the goods spending could have been further pull forward in demand as consumers try to get ahead of price increases from tariffs. This could have a negative impact on consumer spending going forward as they may not need to purchase as many goods. With many areas of the report normalizing as we exit the year, I'm still looking for GDP growth that would likely be in the 1-2% range.   Should Banks be responsible when their customers get scammed? It's a sad thing to see someone in their 60s or 70s get scammed out of their life savings. Unfortunately, there are many online scams now and it appears they just keep growing. According to the FBI, in 2024 online scams totaled $16 billion, which was a 33% increase from 2023. A big question that people have been asking is should banks be the ones that are held responsible when it comes to preventing their customers from making poor investment decisions or losing money in online romance scams? Banks are already trying to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing and other types of fraud that is costly for the banks to maintain. Adding another oversight would be another expense for the banks, which could lead to costs elsewhere in the banking system to make up for those added expenses. From the consumer standpoint this could also lead to frustration when trying to get money for legitimate purposes as it could lead to longer review periods for certain transactions or if your account were to get flagged who knows how long it would take to get that resolved. As an example, let's say a teller sees the same person coming in taking out large sums of money on a regular basis, should the teller stop the activity? Again, if it was for legitimate purposes, wouldn't that be frustrating? What something like this would likely mean for banks is they would have to set up departments to review the situations of potential scams and take many hours to discuss with bank employees, the customer and maybe even family members why the withdrawals are taking place. No surprise here, but attorneys in some states have begun going after the banks saying it is their obligation to protect their clients' assets. There are laws that were passed in the 70s that requires banks to report suspicious money laundering activity and even required banks to screen for fraudulent activities and reimburse customers for stolen funds. However, it's limited to criminal impersonations of a customer to get unauthorized access to their accounts. This is different than many of the scams we are seeing today where the customers themselves are taking the money from their own account and sending it to the scammer. In my opinion, the best thing to do is educate people about these scams and if you have parents, be sure to have conversations with them about them before they happen.   Financial Planning: The Secondary Benefits of Roth Accounts While the primary advantage of Roth accounts lies in their tax-free growth and withdrawals in retirement avoiding potentially higher tax rates, there are several powerful secondary benefits worth considering. First, Roth IRAs are not subject to Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), which means retirees can keep their money growing tax-free for life. In contrast, traditional pre-tax retirement accounts force RMDs beginning at age 75, whether the funds are needed or not. These mandatory withdrawals must be taken as taxable income and cannot be reinvested into another tax-advantaged retirement account. The most similar alternative is a regular taxable brokerage account, where earnings such as interest, dividends, and capital gains are subject to annual taxation—ultimately reducing the net return over time. By avoiding RMDs, Roth accounts allow retirees to maintain greater control over their tax situation and preserve more wealth in a truly tax-advantaged environment. Second, Roth accounts are far more advantageous for heirs. While both Roth and pre-tax retirement accounts are now subject to the 10-year rule—requiring inherited accounts to be fully distributed within 10 years of the original owner's death—the tax treatment is vastly different. Pre-tax inherited accounts are fully taxable to beneficiaries, which can push heirs into higher tax brackets as they're forced to withdraw large sums over a relatively short period. In contrast, inherited Roth accounts allow for the same 10 years of tax-free growth, but the entire balance can be withdrawn tax-free at the end, providing greater flexibility and preserving more value. Third, for individuals whose estates exceed the federal estate tax threshold, Roth accounts offer superior after-tax value. Both Roth and pre-tax accounts are included in the taxable estate, but Roth funds retain their full value since they are not subject to income tax when withdrawn.

In this KE Report company update, we catch up with Craig Nicol, Founder and CEO of Graphene Manufacturing Group (TSX.V:GMG - OTCQX:GMGMF), to dive into the company's latest developments across all divisions - graphene production, G® Lubricant, batteries, and THERMAL-XR®.   Key topics include: Second Generation Graphene Plant: Early works are underway on a next-gen production facility that will boost graphene output 20x - up to 10 tonnes annually using the same inputs. This modular, scalable design could enable global rollout, with full commissioning targeted by mid-2026. Cost Efficiency and Environmental Advantage: The Gen 2 process is expected to significantly lower graphene production costs - potentially below the cost of mining graphite. G® Lubricant Commercialization: New independent engine tests show a 10% fuel saving and 33% drop in emissions. Sales have launched globally via g-lubricant.com, with distributor discussions underway. U.S. sales are pending EPA approval. Battery Division Progress: GMG is working with a top-tier U.S. battery innovation center to streamline pouch cell development. Craig outlines a timeline for customer testing and commercial readiness. THERMAL-XR® + Strategic Partners: While EPA approval is still needed for the U.S., interest remains strong - particularly from data centers and industrial HVAC users. New packaging and website updates are helping broaden access. OEM partnerships and licensing discussions are also discussed. For follow-up questions, email fleck@kereport.com.
