(RMS) News Advertising/Media/Sports/Betting 'Immoral': Labor gambling ad limits rubbished The federal government has been attacked for not implementing key recommendations of an inquiry into sports wagering advertising; the inquiry was led by the late Labor MP Peta Murphy and called for a total ban on gambling advertising. New draft laws released by the government on Friday call for gambling advertisements to be limited to three per hour, but they will still be allowed after 8.30pm. Prominent anti-gambling advocate Tim Costello says the idea that all children will be in bed by that time during the weekend when a sporting event is on defies logic. He says the government should resist claims that a ban on gambling ads will hurt free-to-air TV, with Costello claiming that it will soon end as a result of competition from streaming, and to that to allow it to operate a little longer so that children can be groomed by gambling ads is "immoral". (RMS) News Industry/Resources (Australia) Bidders for Whyalla steelworks offer a stark choice of global experience versus local ambition A consortium led by Matt Latimore's M Resources and Indian firm Jindal Steel and Power are the two final short-listed bidders for Whyalla steelworks, although BlueScope still retains the right to make a last-minute bid. Jindal can claim to have an advantage over Latimer in terms of its experience in running and operating steel mills, although M Resources will likely acquire that expertise via potential future consortium partners POSCO and JSW Steel. Jindal does not have a very good record in Australia, with its only major local operation having been Wollongong Resources, which operated coal mines at Russell Vale and Wongawilli. Both mines were mothballed in early 2024, with the loss of more than 200 jobs, after safety regulators ordered the closure of the Russell Vale mine after five underground fires in just a short periof of time. (Roy Morgan Summary) News Gaming/Tech Biz Pokies company Ainsworth writes off $13.2m investment in alleged 'pyramid scheme' Australian poker machine manufacturer Ainsworth Game Technology has lost a $13.2 million investment in an Argentinian fintech company called Wenance, with the company having been declared bankrupt. Its CEO Alejandro Muszak was arrested in 2024 amid fraud allegations facing Wenance, while there are claims that it operated a Ponzi scheme. With Ainsworth Game Technology having recently forecast a profit before tax of just $1m for the six months ending 30 June, the news that it has lost its $13.2 million investment in Wenance is unlikely to please its shareholders. (RMS) Cryptos XRP $1.3079 -2.10 DOGE $0.09976 -0.99% Bitcoin Cash $292.91 -4.10 News Gold News Again, technical factors are saving gold from the drop Gold fell below $4,400, reaching levels last seen during the prolonged March decline. At its intraday low, the price dipped below the 200-day moving average. Buyers have repeatedly stepped in around this level over the past three years. The last week of May was no exception. Beyond purely technical factors, the precious metal was supported by positive signals from the US-Iran front and an encouraging equity market rally, which boosted risk appetite. The key difference between the current rally from $4,400 to levels above $4,500 and the one in March is that gold no longer appears heavily oversold, and market conditions appear much more balanced. A break below this level could open the way to the $4,000–$4,100 range. However, if selling pressure intensifies, the decline could prove much deeper, down to $3,400. Although we find it hard to believe in the sustainability of the current rebound, it is still worth acknowledging that the market may get stuck near current levels, gathering strength after the downward momentum, which could take anywhere from a couple of days to a week. An even more optimistic – and even less likely – scenario involves a bullish breakout above the 50-day moving average at $4,630, which would put an end to the recent months' downtrend and restore a long-term bullish bias. (FxPro) News Lead Up The crypto market is juggling altcoins Market Overview The crypto market remains stagnant, stuck at $2.57T and hovering around the 50-day moving average, awaiting further signals. The crypto market’s overall sideways movement looks like a juggling act for mid-tier altcoins: one after another takes the lead. Among the most popular coins over the last 24 hours are NEAR Protocol ( 14%), The Graph ( 5.6%) and Toncoin ( 4.5%). The underperformers were Zcash (-5.9%), Dash (-4.1%) and Uniswap (-3.1%). Bitcoin rose to $77.8K at the end of the day on Monday, but by the start of trading in Europe, it was trading $1,000 lower. The coin is finding support near the upward-sloping 50-day moving average. Earlier in May, the 200-day moving average briefly acted as strong resistance. If current trends continue, these lines will cross in just a couple of weeks, forming a golden cross, a strong bullish signal. But even before that, we may see a breakout of one of the key moving averages, the outcome of which will determine the trajectory of Bitcoin and the entire crypto market for the coming weeks. News Background Institutional investors have withdrawn $1.74 billion from Bitcoin ETFs over the past two weeks. Meanwhile, retail traders are increasing their leverage in anticipation of a reversal in the BTC price. In the past, such a combination has repeatedly resulted in severe waves of liquidations, warns CryptoOnchain. Current Ethereum levels are suitable for building long-term positions, according to MN Trading founder Michael van de Poppe. In his view, the asset remains a crucial infrastructure element of the on-chain ecosystem, despite lagging the market in recent months due to macroeconomic factors. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved the listing of options on a Bitcoin index calculated based on BTC prices across multiple exchanges. This is the first such instrument on US stock exchanges currently; only options linked to the value of spot crypto ETF shares are traded there. Strategy skipped its weekly Bitcoin purchase last week, instead buying back $1.5 billion of its own convertible bonds. The company’s founder, Michael Saylor, publicly revealed for the first time the tactic that Strategy has been using for five years. (FxPro) News Lead Up May 25 Bitcoin is shy to move up, but refuses to fall Market Overview The crypto market continues to fluctuate, returning for the third time this week to market capitalisation levels around $2.57T, although at the end of last week it dipped to $2.5T following an earlier surge to $2.7T in May. Over the past 24 hours, the top-performing coins have been Near Protocol ( 7.3%), Internet Computer ( 4.1%) and Toncoin ( 3.4%). Uniswap has seen the biggest decline, falling by 1.6%, whilst Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin have each lost 1%. Bitcoin fell to $74.3K on Saturday but was trading just above $77K by Monday. Its price movements remain very subdued, with no sharp spikes, and it continues to lag behind stock indices, which are climbing towards all-time highs. On the other hand, the trend of buying on dips is also clearly continuing. The 50-day moving average remains a support level, but buyers are wary of accelerating their purchases. They are likely somewhat put off by the lack of a ‘final capitulation’ in the leading cryptocurrency, which could have brought the bear market to an end. News Background Outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs have continued for a second week, following six weeks of inflows. According to SoSoValue, net weekly outflows from spot BTC ETFs rose to $1.26 billion, hitting their highest level since late January. Total inflows since the approval of Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024 have fallen to $57.08 billion (-2.2% for the week). Outflows from US spot Ethereum ETFs have also persisted for two consecutive weeks. Net weekly outflows from ETH ETFs fell by $216 million. Total net inflows since the ETF's launch in July 2024 have fallen to $11.62 billion (-1.8% week-on-week). Weakening retail demand and outflows from crypto ETFs could be a ‘contrarian indicator’ signalling a buy signal for Bitcoin, according to Santiment. Bitcoin miners remain cautious and are not yet showing confidence that the bear market phase is over, CryptoQuant notes. Miners continue to reduce their reserves of the leading cryptocurrency, as they do not yet see sufficient grounds for active BTC purchases. The media corporation Trump Media and Technology Group transferred 2,650 bitcoins from the project’s crypto wallet to the Crypto.com exchange. The transaction suggests a desire to sell BTC, Arkham Intelligence speculated. The deal will be a loss-maker, as the average purchase price of the coins exceeded $118K. Billionaire Mark Cuban has sold 80% of his bitcoin holdings and stated that he has lost faith in bitcoin as a safe-haven asset. According to him, he continues to hold Ethereum, placing more trust in this altcoin than in BTC. (FxPro) News (120 Hours Ago) Silver And Gold Silver caught in a price trap After a long period of calm, volatility has returned to the silver market. Silver surged to a two-month high, rallying more than 20% from its May lows in just a week. However, concerns over tighter monetary policy and rising bond yields have since put pressure on prices. Of course, the current fluctuations cannot be compared to what we saw in January, when a 35% drop occurred in a single day. Investors felt that the rally had gone too far. However, the situation does not yet look like a classic bubble burst, as silver prices are still 130% higher than a year ago, which is suppressing global demand. UBS estimates a 50 million-ounce decline this year, allowing the bank to lower its price forecast from $100 to $85 per ounce by the end of the second quarter. High prices are forcing not only jewellers but also industrialists to seek alternatives for silver. There has been some success in replacing it with copper in the manufacture of solar panels. This sector accounts for a fifth of global supply. Due to the fall in global demand, the 46.3-million-ounce deficit forecast by the Silver Institute for 2026 may prove smaller, putting pressure on the price per ounce. Silver is also facing weaker investment demand. Rising global bond yields and a stronger US dollar are putting pressure on the metal. UBS reports that speculative interest has fallen sharply, while silver ETF holdings have dropped by 70 million ounces since the start of the year, to 794 million ounces. De-escalation in the Middle East could turn the tables. Oil, the US dollar and Treasury yields would fall, which would be positive for silver. However, as long as the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked, it remains under pressure. The silver market is relatively small compared to gold, which makes it more vulnerable to speculative trading. This often leads to sharper price moves in both directions.

How many knew that all of Senex’s gas — yes, that’s right, Gina Rinehart’s Senex — goes solely to Australia and Australian businesses? NO EXPORTS. Unlike Labor, Gina just gets on with the job and puts Australian energy security first. Senex’s gas from the Surat Basin in Queensland (Atlas and Roma North projects) is piped straight into the east coast domestic market. Major customers include AGL, BlueScope, Liberty Steel, Orora, CleanCo Queensland, CSR, Visy Glass and Alinta Energy — with over 150 petajoules locked in under long-term contracts to keep our manufacturers and power generators running. And she’s not stopping there. Just last month Gina committed $200 million — the largest private donation ever — to buy hotels, motels and apartments and turn them into proper housing for our 6,000 homeless veterans. She called veteran homelessness a “national disgrace”. On top of that, Gina has thrown strong support behind One Nation. Her company recently gifted Pauline Hanson a brand new Cirrus G7 plane (valued around $1–1.5 million) for campaign travel. Pauline confirmed she speaks directly with Gina about policy and praised her as “one of the highest taxpayers in this nation” who actually “gives back to the community” — veterans, Royal Flying Doctor Service, agriculture and more. No gaslighting. No selling us out. Just real action for Aussie energy, Aussie veterans and a party that fights for ordinary Australians. Thanks Gina. You’re putting Australia first when it counts. 🇦🇺 #auspol @GinaRinehart @PaulineHanson @OneNationAus

..I can’t forget to mention this 👇… hey Gina I have still got your Senex jacket 🙏 Senex’s gas is supplied entirely to Australia’s domestic east coast market — it doesn’t export LNG. The key customers are: AGL (Australia’s largest power generator), BlueScope, Liberty Steel, and Orora are among the main buyers, with Senex having signed around 133 petajoules worth of supply contracts with these and other companies.  Earlier customers mentioned at the time of the Rinehart/POSCO takeover also included CleanCo Queensland, Southern Oil Refining, CSR, Visy Glass, and Alinta Energy. The gas comes from Senex’s Surat Basin fields in Queensland — primarily the Atlas and Roma North projects — and is piped into the east coast gas network.  In total, Senex has secured long-term supply contracts for 151 petajoules of gas , predominantly going to manufacturers and energy retailers rather than being exported — which is a key part of Rinehart’s stated goal of improving Australia’s domestic energy security.

Pathetic spin, Kean. This isn’t some historic breakthrough for ‘Australia’s heavy industry.’ It’s InfraBuild’s Laverton scrap recycler melting junk in electric arc furnaces — the easy, decades-old recycling route that was already electrically intensive. ‘Majority renewable power for the first time ever’? They inked a deal for >50% from one wind farm while the rest still comes from the coal-and-gas grid it’s plugged into. Primary blast-furnace steelmaking from iron ore (the actual hard, emissions-heavy stuff BlueScope does)? Completely untouched. This is cherry-picked greenwashing dressed up as proof the ‘transition is here.’ It’s why people are done with the renewables grift.” Short, brutal, and factually on point.

Stop lying! It is not a steel mill. A steel mill is a primary steel producer using a blast furnace. This facility is a steel recycling plant, which requires far less energy. When Bluescope runs their furnace on windmills and solar panels, l might be impressed.

Bluescope take note. A Melbourne steel mill has become the first in Australia to draw more than half its power from renewable energy sources. smh.com.au/business/companie…

Stop scrolling, login to CompoundingAI ! Tata Steel (TATASTEEL) - Q4 FY26 Results Q4 headline: India delivering a record year; Europe remains the drag and is now becoming a structural risk. Q4 consolidated revenue: ₹63,270 Cr, up 12.5% YoY and 11.0% QoQ, the highest quarterly revenue of FY26. Q4 EBITDA margin: 15.75%, up 297 bps YoY from 12.78%, down 103 bps QoQ from Q3's 16.78% (seasonal inventory drawdown effect). FY26 full-year revenue: ₹2,32,140 Cr ( 6.2% YoY); EBITDA margin 14.95% ( 316 bps YoY). (FY26 context: consolidated PAT to owners ₹10,794 Cr, 215.6% YoY but standalone PAT ₹16,065 Cr, 49% higher, because European subsidiaries drag ₹5,271 Cr off the consolidated P&L.) India: best-ever year on every metric. Q4 India revenue: ₹38,448 Cr ( 11.8% YoY). Q4 India EBITDA margin: 24.55% within the guided 23–24% range, validating management's cost transformation thesis. FY26 India deliveries: 22.53 Mn T - best-ever, up 1.63 Mn T YoY against a target of 1.5 Mn T. The mechanism: cost transformation savings of ₹8,600 Cr in the first nine months fully offset a ₹7,400 Cr revenue impact from lower steel realisations - the net effect is margin expansion despite price headwinds. Kalinganagar Phase II ramp and CRM complex are the volume drivers; G blast furnace stabilized after Q1 relining. India standalone EBITDA margin: 23.64% for FY26 against guided 23–24%. Interest coverage standalone: 8.08×. Netherlands: improved but now a going concern question. Q4 Netherlands revenue: ₹17,016 Cr ( 15.2% YoY). Q4 EBITDA: ₹624 Cr at 3.67% margin, up from 0.89% in Q4 FY25. Full-year Netherlands EBITDA: ₹2,722 Cr ( 230% YoY) - a genuine turnaround. The concern: on April 23, 2026, the Environmental Agency and Province issued a letter indicating intent to revoke permits for the Coke & Gas Plants. Tata Steel Netherlands has already paid €20 million in penalties during FY26. Material uncertainty regarding going concern has been formally disclosed. The company is exploring legal options, engaging on closure timelines, and has submitted a Green Steel Plan to the Dutch Government for DRI-EAF transition. Timeline and financial impact of potential early closure are unquantified. UK: losses narrowing but breakeven not in sight without government action. Q4 UK revenue: ₹5,774 Cr (−3.8% YoY). Q4 EBITDA: −₹591 Cr, loss narrowed 31.9% YoY from −₹869 Cr and 20.2% QoQ from −₹742 Cr. FY26 UK EBITDA: −₹2,569 Cr, improved from −₹4,134 Cr in FY25. Management had warned UK EBITDA breakeven in Q4 was "difficult without government action" - that proved accurate. UK Government funding (GFA) is committed; blast furnaces are being decommissioned with transition to downstream/EAF underway. The critical variable: UK steel safeguards expire June 2026. Without policy continuation, UK losses may persist. Combined UK Netherlands EBITDA turned marginally positive for FY26: ₹153 Cr (Netherlands ₹2,722 Cr UK −₹2,569 Cr). This was management's stated target — barely achieved. Cash quality: multi-year high FCF. CFO: ₹35,064 Cr ( 51.5% YoY). FCF: ₹20,505 Cr after ₹14,559 Cr capex - highest in recent years. CFO/EBITDA: 1.01×. Deleveraging on track: D/E improved from 0.90× to 0.82×; interest coverage from 3.12× to 4.72×. Capex of ₹14,559 Cr (cash flow) exceeded the ₹15,000 Cr guidance if you include the ₹2,846 Cr of subsidiary acquisitions (Thriveni Pellets ₹635 Cr Tata BlueScope ₹1,100 Cr others), taking total deployments to ₹17,405 Cr. Dividend: ₹4/share recommended for FY26. Exceptional items: normalized PAT is cleaner. Q4 exceptional: −₹340 Cr net, restructuring/redundancy provisions (−₹595 Cr), impairment (−₹63 Cr), partially offset by gain on Ferro Alloy Plant sale ( ₹322 Cr). FY26 total exceptionals: −₹1,032 Cr. Normalized Q4 PAT: ₹3,132 Cr vs reported ₹2,926 Cr. Normalized FY26 PAT: ₹11,445 Cr vs reported ₹10,794 Cr.
