Tech had a good night. Nvidia was up 2.58% and Tesla rebounded up 4.97%. They are still working on the 1-3B (One Big Beautiful Bill) as they try to get it done before their long weekend. The UK appear to have a few political dramas again with their Chancellor but the PM has recently backed her after he seemed to throw her under a bus earlier so maybe that was just a hiccup. Aust Futures: Mildly negative but I'm liking the commodity moves which are always good for us. ASX SPI 200: Down 11 or -0.13% Commodities: Oil up 3.20% Gold up 0.57% Silver up 1.45% Copper up 1.82% Uranium down 0.32% Coal up 1.73% Base metals also up nicely Aluminium up 0.81% Nickel up 0.99% Zinc up 1.43%
