Australian shares are poised to rise as Apple paced a rally in the tech sector in New York. Iron ore rebounded on hope China will do more to bolster its economy. Oil gained amid widening Middle East tensions. US Treasury yields edged higher.
Volatility persisted with stocks fluctuating through midday before turning decisively higher from 1pm, though the VIX reversed about half of its previous session’s surge.
The yield on the US 10-year note briefly reached 4.15 per cent. It was 4 basis points higher to 4.14 per cent at 3.08pm in New York. The probability of a US March rate cut briefly slipped below 50 per cent, though it was holding above that level late in New York.
Oil swung, pushed higher by concerns about the prospect wider conflict in the Middle East as Iran and Pakistan jousted, and tempered in part by a forecast of ample supply from the Paris-based International Energy Association.
Bitcoin has extended its slide since the US approved a raft of spot bitcoin ETFs earlier this month.

- Exploration minnow Osmond Resources ramps up its uranium focus in South Australia
- Sabre Resources wants its slice of yellowcake, too, launching a new campaign in the NT
- Gateway Mining excited by new gold hits at WA Montague project
Osmond Resources (ASX:OSM)
Yellowcake. Everyone wants it right now.
Osmond is an exploration minnow with a diverse metals (lithium, uranium, gold, boron, graphite ‘n’ more) portfoilo that takes it far and wide across Australia, USA and Spain.
It’s latest news, though, which shot it straight to the top of the ASX pops today (before Woomera made a strong recovery, that is), comes from local territory – the Fowler project in South Australia.
The $4.2m company has burst up the bourse with a +40% gain after announcing “exciting uranium potential” at Fowler, straddling part of the edge of the sediment-tastic Eucla Basin, which extends over 2,000km along the coast from WA into SA.
Osmond says that its reviewing of historical exploration at the site has identified potential uranium (U3O8) mineralisation right across 20km of the sands and clays within the Fowler project.
The Sabre is rattling again, showing some fight on the bourse today with a +24% gain at the time of day’s coffee.
The diverse minerals-exploring junior (lithium, nickel sulphide, uranium) has announced it’s launched a new exploration program at the Dingo uranium project within its 1100km2 Ngalia Basin tenement package in the Northern Territory.
This follows up on high grade results identified in previous drilling at the tenements – up to 5,194ppm eU3O8.
The company will be going hard with geophysics and drilling high-grade sandstone-hosted uranium targets and resource extensions under shallow cover.
In particular, the Eclipse 1 prospect target is believed to continue for over 50km. All up, only 5km of the sandstone contact has been partially tested with the previous shallow drilling.
