The oil price nudged ahead to US$37.41 a barrel with OPEC mulling over extending their production cuts to boost the oil price. The gold price lost $5.90 in value, falling to $1,722. an ounce. Iron ore fell 1.6%, but the price of ore has gone up by 9.4% compared to last week, and it’s trading at $10 a tonne.

What to watch today:

  • Kogan (ASX:KGN) just reported June quarter results with Gross Profit rising over 130% across 4QTD of the financial year, and active customers rising to 2 million, that means Kogan.com customers grew by 126,000 in May.
  • Companies going ex-dividend include ALS (ASX:ALQ) and Infratil (ASX:IFT) and OFX Group (ASX:OFX) goes ex-div on Tuesday (remember if you buy shares before the ex-div date, you’ll be entitled to the upcoming dividend – which is why on the day ex-div date, shares are usually sold down).
