Been studying them for weeks. Gold as at day 7-8, which is final day for routine. Im guessing as low as 76.20 gor AU, but have 77.18 as entry start.  Silver was due too, but not sure. Im playing it at about 46.35 target bottom but 47.05 entry.

Was just listening to a story on Marketplace Tech this morning that was estimating that a buisness of 10k loss $9million in productivity due to AI slop from workers using AI and it being wrong or needing to be reworked. The whole AI play relies on the assumption that AU is going to improve productivity, but the latest data coming out indicates that assumption may not be accurate.

You can see that even through wars, changes of US President, recessions, plagues, etc, the market continues to go up over the long term. The market drops 1 in 3 years. There is a 20% drop around every 5-7 years. Expect it! Part of buying into the market is accepting the fact that the market doesn't always go up every year. But in the long run it has proven, so far, that it does go up about 10%pa.

Not even close mate lol. For just 1 sphere around the Sun at about 1 AU distance if it was *only* 1 meter thick, would require about 280 Earth's worth of mass... and thats not counting how many of Earth's mass couldn't be used due to varying elements. The entire asteroid belt is estimated to be not even 0.1% of Earth's mass... or barely 3% of just our moon lol. Maybe if you scraped up the entire Kuiper Belt too... but that would still only be about 10% of 1 Earth's. Not even close =/

I was backtesting AU and I found out that AU was very volatile or we can say choppy in past 1 year And after backtesting it I came to a point that my ema strategy works only in a perfectly trending market. If the market is volatile or choppy I can't trade that market because the indicators I am using is a lagging indicator, so if the market nature changes I can't trade it.. So I have a question that, do professional traders really use different strategies for different market conditions? Like a trend following ema strategy, support resistance strategy with rsi for range bound market or choppy market, Bollinger band for volatile market?? Like that?

The quite gem in the REE space is LYNAS. They are completing a 268m funded refinery in Texa funded by DOD, have mining operations in multiple locations and were the subject of acquisition offers last year from MP, They turned them down. Long read but worth it; Key Highlights from 2nd Update (July 24, 2025) 1. Massive Production Ramp Rare earth oxide production jumped 68% QoQ to 3,212 metric tons. NdPr (critical for EV magnets) topped 2,000 tons for the first time ever (+38% QoQ). Sales revenue surged 38% to AU$170.2 m (\~US$112 m). 2. Strong Market Dynamics Demand is so strong that Lynas says it’s selling everything it produces. Average sales prices are at their highest level since mid‑2022, driven by strategic customer deals and market tightness. 3. Heavy Rare Earth Breakthrough Began producing dysprosium (May) and terbium (June)—critical heavy rare earths used in high‑temperature magnets. This is the first time in decades these elements are being produced commercially outside China. 4. Strategic MoUs New MoU with JS Link (South Korea) for a magnet manufacturing facility in Malaysia. Builds on the earlier Kelantan MB Inc. MoU to localize heavy rare earth feedstock. Both deepen Lynas’s integration in Asia and help secure downstream customers. 5. U.S. Market Position Lynas continues strong ties with the DoD and is progressing the Texas separation plant (Seadrift). CEO Lacaze is bullish that the U.S. MP Materials price‑floor deal, while a “sweetheart” arrangement for MP, ultimately strengthens the ex‑China supply chain and benefits Lynas. Why This Matters Scale & Diversification: Lynas is now the only player globally producing both light and heavy rare earths at scale outside China. Pricing Power: With heavy REE production, it’s climbing up the value chain and can leverage strategic pricing independent of the benchmark index. Political Tailwinds: Trump’s administration is clearly backing a China‑independent supply chain. This improves Lynas’s odds of future U.S. supply contracts (and possibly subsidies). 🔮 Sentiment & Valuation Context Social sentiment at 97% and Morgan Stanley overweight with a $12 target reflect bullish investor confidence. https://preview.redd.it/ix0ms751f1hf1.png?width=428&format=png&auto=webp&s=48063ccde6444751b7ae2d3f3ba8b7bef92ccd77 This is a great one at 7 bucks.

Aussies won't touch the stuff. The AU beef is far superior and better. The americans in their exceptionalism have cattle pumped full of drugs and just bad voodoo. Let's watch as it rots on the shelf. Mayve the government of Australia will buy some once or twice for good faith vibes. But no one is eating that garbage in Australia

Hopefully AU has stringent inspection requirements because Trump is eliminating them in US.

Wunderbarber

I live in the northeast US and buy a lot of AU/NZ beef and even venison. Higher quality and cheaper than stateside products.

Joethetoe00

I haven't fact checked but in Australia this is being reported as a token offering to help with wider trade discussions. Apparently we (AU) have not blocked imports on US beef for a long time, but we've blocked imports on beef raised elsewhere (ie Mexico) but processed in the US. Why? Some kind of biosecurity risk. So if Trump is bragging about it, it's really just good news for AU, that he's ok with the narrative and will perhaps relax on some of the trade issues that matter to us.

snarpsta

This is actually a bold lie. They've been able to import US beef already, but it had to be born/raised in the US. NOW they can import beef from the US, if it was born in Mexico or Canada. This fat pedophile just can't stop lying. Also, Australia is the 2nd largest beef exporter in the world and we're the largest importer of AU beef.

kuan_51

The big win for AU is that the US agreed to improve tracebility of the meat. AU bans meat from cows raised with growth hormones. Poor tracking visibility for US beef made it functionally impossible to import into AU. But now they can tell how the cow was raised and the quality of beef, there is a path to importing US beef into AU.

kale_boriak

No they do not. Just like “Japan will buy our rice” when they net export rice and carefully manage that market domestically - Japan will be buying American rice to fulfill targets for foreign aid. Almost certainly AU will be doing the same. It’s very doubtful that much American beef will be eaten in Australia.

That's UK Sky, it's not News Corp (Fox news), but you would be right if I linked Aus Sky news and I did double check to make sure I didn't link AU Sky for exactly the reasons you are pointing out. But it does have a complicated relationship with the Murdoch family, and it's generally seen as not a right-wing news source for the UK, where that places it relatively to where ever you are no idea. I picked it as American sources are obviously going to be biased and so I picked a UK one, as its pretty slim pickings of English sources on this as the other option is really Al Jazeera, which is going to be absurdly Biased.

Can't believe I read all those comments and not a single person pointed out the actual results for the month. Sales were up 9.2% y/y in May. They're still down 48.2% YTD y/y. This was largely due to the first shipment of the refreshed Y. 3580 of the 3897 vehicles delivered in May were for the new Y. Many car carrier ships can hold 6000 vehicles. I imagine the delivery was not supply constrained and they loaded up the boat with enough units to fulfil existing orders in Australia and probably New Zealand as well, along with some inventory. If I had to put money on it, I'd guess their sales in the region will drop again in June. There's far more competing vehicles being delivered to AU, some at much lower prices, and none that is associated with nzi scumbags.

CCP is coming after them. Cars were made with untreated steel and rust in just normal humidity. They were scamming the chinese government claiming the rebate for producing the cars, them selling them to their own shell subsidiary dealerships as "used" with 0 miles on them to claim depreciation losses. Huge graveyards of "sold" but unsold cars. Galvanic corrosion because of no care taken with mixed metals. Don't meet any of the safety standards, will never sell real volume of profitable vehicles in the EU. India, AU, and US will never let them sell there. Russia is only market for expansion and it has no capability to use EVs. They're going to blow up like NEO.

flatscreeen

"Some may get passed on to consumers" is not the same as "Tariffs are always passed on to consumers" Also, there IS a world where the tariffed country pays. Look it up, it's happened plenty of times. One example, which also conveniently addresses your feelings on elasticity of demand, is the China-Australia spat. In response some COVID accusations, China tariffed AU wine to the tune of 200% or something. Chinese demand for Australian wine was highly elastic, so when the price doubled, the Chinese just bought a different kind of wine. Australia's wine exports to China went from over $1b to under $20m, causing a massive surplus in wine, plummeting prices, etc. The Chinese did NOT pay for those tariffs and Australia paid dearly.

Array_626

Do the aussies have a navy that trains with the US? Also, China being the dominant regional military power means China needs to extend the olive branch. The aussies can't unilaterally decide to become close buddies with China without any guarantees as it would alienate the rest of the english speaking world, and severely impact their security relationship with the US. If Australia just turns around out of the blue and announces joint military operations and cooperation with China, as a sign of friendship, and to start purchasing Chinese subs for their navy, it's gonna raise eyebrows. If China want's to be on good terms with AU and NZ, it needs to take the first step. If it can't, then whats the point of even being a superpower? The US used its super power status, spent billions on the marshal plan to rebuild Japan, shed blood fighting with South Koreans during their war, and have a long history with the Phillipines. The US has actually used its superpower status, and sacrificed real treasure and blood in order to gain the friends it has in the region. Why should China be entitled to that same level of friendship just because?

Array_626

Uhh, the US isn't sailing warships around Australia as a show of force, China is. The fact that AU and UZ are US aligned I think can be blamed on China's belligerence against all of it's neighbors.

I even imagine that AU, across the coming tariff induced recession, could pull the same stunt as during the financial crisis of just riding through it unscathed due to increasing exports to China

One of these days Xi is going to call Albanese with a "we need a new place to supply us with ~USD20 billion worth of agricultural products, can you set us up". I imagine that Trump shooting the US farmer in the face might lubricate the China - AU relationship a bit

Also, USA is alienating it's allies (EU, AU, Japan, Canada etc). They could also form a partnership with china to consume all of their goods

Sure yeah I do agree that's a good point. Still, what super power isn't doing this these days? The US has been pressuring AU universities to demonstrate they aren't practicing DEI. The US has been interfering with elections and trying to pressure EU countries to swing right. We're likely to see more things like this in the near future. I agree with you but it still just seems like the US is way worse than China in terms of reliability now, and most other metrics too.

Fair point. The coalition government was stirring this pot at the time, I'd argue it only happened because the AU gov openly verbally attacked China and took the US right wing narrative. It's also not even on the scale compared to what the US is up to rn though. Export controls on a few items from Australia was trade bullying no doubt, but it's like a 2 on the Richter scale compared to the US busting out a 9 these last few months.

EU stopped its US tariffs. AU literally said no. CA is saying there will be a new global trade. Vietnam is bringing down its tariffs to 0 to the US. Japan and South Korea are coming in hot. Yeah... good luck to Gyna. Ain't no one taking their shite after Gyna destroyed the world economy through its shifty business deals.

>Pretty much irrelevant what they could have, they couldn't organise an orgy in a swingers house they're so corrupt and inept.  Costa Rica was fine. Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia can get it done if they put their backs into it. Regions of India could. AU, NZ, UK, Canada, easy. Kazakhstan, easy as well. Egypt building nuclear power plants, easy. The Arabian peninsula, done deal if they want to. >You want your electric car in the day so you need the storage, I charge at work. While we are connected to the grid, we also have a massive solar farm. Leave the vehicle plugged in during working hours, all is good. >How much is 80 kwh in lithium battery storage? Why would you build lithium batteries for fixed storage? Lithium really shines for energy storage due to it being light and therefore movable. Not much of a benefit for something stationary is it?

Carney is extremely weary of China, and rightfully so. He will reach out to EU and AU first. Plus we kinda burnt the bridge with China starting around the last Trump run.
