Options Desk

OptionsDesk broker Alex Mitchell speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive about what market participants can expect from the coming week, highlighting the release of UK inflation data, employment figures, wages, and monthly retail sales. In the US, earnings reports from companies like Home Depot, Cisco, and Walmart are all anticipated, but its in Asia where the real market-moving action is taking place this week. Mitchell points out the impact of China's declining new bank loans data, which caused a dip in the FTSE 100 on the opening trading day of the week due to its considerable exposure to commodity producers. He adds that overall, the world's markets "are still waiting for the Chinese reopening story to unfold" after the Covid-19 pandemic. He emphasises the use of options trading to safeguard investments during such volatile times, citing the example of commodity giant Glencore and goes on to highlight the upcoming Cisco earnings and FOMC minutes, which could trigger options trading strategies based on market reactions.

Carnavale Resources Limited

Carnavale Resources Ltd (ASX:CAV) CEO Humphrey Hale tells Proactive the company has started an aggressive reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at McTavish East prospect within the Kookynie Gold Project in Western Australia, targeting substantial high-grade gold shoots as it works to establish a quality gold resource. This latest RC drilling is following up on extensional high-grade gold results that included 6 metres grading 79.21 g/t gold from 97 metres, including 3 metres at 152 g/t, from previous RC drilling in fresh rock. Hale said: “The recent outlining of substantial high-grade gold shoots has been a great discovery for CAV at Kookynie. CAV has successfully mobilised an RC rig to start an aggressive campaign of drilling within a month of announcing the exceptional RC drilling results in July.” Hosting both past and current high-grade mines, the Kookynie-Leonora region is highly prospective. However, significant areas, mostly undercover, remained under-explored by modern methods. Contact Details Proactive Investors Jonathan Jackson +61 413 713 744 Jonathan@proactiveinvestors.com
