What to watch today:

  • The Australian share market is set to open lower, with the SPI futures suggesting a fall of 0.69% at market open this morning.
  • On the commodity front this morning,
    • Oil is trading 1.62% lower at US$75.91/barrel, gold is trading 0.12% lower at US$2383/ounce and iron ore is trading 0.26% lower at US$106.86/tonne.

Trading Idea:

  • Bell Potter maintains a buy rating on Burgundy Diamond Mines (ASX:BDM) and has a 12-month price target of $0.28. The buy rating is maintained by Bell Potter as they expect positive news flow over the second half of 2024 as BDM report on mine life extension activities and continue to optimise existing operations. As well as this, their Ekati diamond mine is a highly strategic asset within the luxury goods value chain, hence the buy rating is maintained.
