  • On the commodity front this morning,
    • Oil is trading 3.11% lower at 73 US dollars and 55 cents a barrel as investors factored in the likelihood of a rise in OPEC+ supply starting in October.
    • Gold is trading 0.65% lower at 2503 US dollars an ounce and iron ore is trading 0.07% higher at 98 US dollars and 70 cents a tonne.

Trading Ideas:

  • Bell Potter maintains a buy rating on Aeris Resources (ASX:AIS) and has a 12-monht price target of $0.27. The buy rating is maintained by Bell Potter following the release of FY24 results in which EBITDA came in ahead of Bell Potter forecasts and a revenue of $540m was recorded. AIS is a copper dominant producer with all its assets in Australia. Its near-term outlook is highly leveraged to the copper price and increasing grades and production at the Tritton copper mine. Successful delivery offers significant upside and a strategically attractive asset in Tritton, hence the buy rating is maintained.
  • Trading Central has identified a bullish signal in IGO Ltd (ASX:IGO), indicating that the stock price may rise form the close of $5.55 to the range of $5.75-$5.83, on a pattern formed over 20 days, according to the standard principles of technical analysis.
