Every Time an Ostrich Flaps its Wings
Drones: कैसे बनी ये 100 Billion Dollar की Industry?
Closing Bell 6 October
The local market bucked the overnight sell-off around global markets to close Thursday’s session just 0.03% higher, following the decision by OPEC+ to cut daily oil production in attempt to stabilise prices, which sent local energy shares soaring.
Real Estate stocks took another hit today as interest rates continue to rise, with the latest 0.25% hike announced earlier this week, as the rising rate environment is likely to lead to short-term underperformance in earnings for REIT stocks.
Taking a look at the winning stocks for today’s session, Whitehaven Coal (ASX:WHC) continued its surge, adding 7.17% today, while Pilbara Minerals (ASX:PLS) and Link Administration (ASX:LNK) each added 5.7% and 5.14% respectively.
And on the losing end of the market today, Magellan Financial Group (ASX:MFG) tanked 8% today after the company provided an update for its funds under management for September, showing its FUM continued to decline last month, with retail pulling another $0.4bn and institutions pulling another $3.2bn of funds managed by the embattled fund manager. Kelsian Group (ASX:KLS) and Domain Holdings (ASX:DHG) each also lost more than 3% today.
The most traded stocks by Bell Direct clients today were Whitehaven Coal (ASX:WHC), Brainchip (ASX:BRN) and Mineral Resources (ASX:MIN).
Taking a look at economic data, Australia’s trade balance data for August was released today showing the country’s trade surplus declined again in the month of August to hit $8.324bn, which was well below the market expectations of an increase in trade surplus to $10.1bn, in a sign Australia continues to increase imports compared to exports this new financial year. And the Aussie Dollar is trading slightly stronger against the greenback, up 0.39% with 1 Aussie dollar today buying 65.33 US cents.
An Albatross Surfs the Wind
By moving from the faster high air to slower low air, or vice versa, an albatross can propel itself forward. In a series of sinuous loops, the albatross surfs the wind, up and down, repeating the pattern over and over again as it moves thousands of miles across the ocean.

Ep 59 - The Torrey Pines Gulls
The Torrey Pines Gulls, one of the first AMA Chartered clubs dedicated solely to RC soaring, is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The Gulls operate three fields in San Diego County: The Torrey Pines Gliderport in La Jolla, the Poway Flight Center in Poway and Encinitas Flight Center in Encinitas; all used for various disciplines of soaring such as thermal, wench, discus launch and of course slope soaring. They have played host to the International Hand Launch Glider Festival for 25 years and helped in the development of FAI F3K as an aeromodeling discipline.
Joining us on the AMA Podcast today to talk about the Gulls is club president Ian Cummings and club historian Gary Fogel.
