Government quizzed over $2b Pacific guarantee for ANZ

A $2 billion guarantee the federal government provides to ANZ Bank to support its operations in nine Pacific nations could distort competition and disadvantage Pacific Islander investors, according to the largest lender in the region, ASX-listed Bank South Pacific. The official backstop for ANZ, announced in March, is part of a diplomatic plan to offset China's growing influence in the Pacific region. Policymakers see Western banks withdrawing from the Pacific as a national security risk if China were to muscle in to provide more financial services in the region.

Casino giant rolls the dice on mega precinct sale deal

Embattled casino giant Star Entertainment Group has struck a deal to sell off its share of a mega casino. The group on Tuesday announced it had signed a binding long-form agreement with Hong Kong partners Chow Tai Fook Enterprises and Far East Consortium Limited to sell its share of Queen's Wharf in Brisbane. The partners will take over Star's 50 per cent share after previously holding 25 per cent shares. "The transaction involves The Star disposing of its interest in DBC (the owner of Queen's Wharf), consolidating its position at the Gold Coast and transferring other Brisbane assets and interests held by The Star to the joint venture partners," Star's ASX announcement said. The deal has been approved by US group Bally's Corp which had previously offered $300 million to save the group from appointing administrators. It will be completed in two stages with the exit from Queen's Wharf first and a sunset date of November 30. Remaining assets included in the transaction, such as the Treasury Hotel in Brisbane, are subject to a separate set of conditions to be finalised in the second half of 2026. Plans to sell its 50 per cent interest in the Queen's Wharf had been ongoing since March for the embattled casino operator. As recently as August 1, the Hong Kong partners rejected a $53 million sale as the parties were unable to reach a final agreement on a number of commercial issues. Star had $234 million in available cash as of June 30, but in the June quarter it burnt through nearly $25 million a month in operations. The mega $2.6 billion riverfront Queen's Wharf precinct staggered its opening since the Star Grand Hotel began operating in August 2024.

Top 10 at 11: ASX opens at fresh highs; small caps push deeper into e-commerce spaces

Morning, and welcome to Stockhead's Top 10 (at 11… ish), highlighting the movers and shakers on the ASX in early-doors trading. With the market opening at 10am sharp eastern time, the data is taken at 10.15am in the east, once trading kicks off in earnest. In brief, this is what the market has been up to this morning. Banks, discretionary push ASX higher The ASX pushed into fresh new highs yesterday, and it's looking like the bourse will be doing the same today. The ASX 200 is 12 points or 0.14% higher in the first hour of trade, making modest gains with 7 of 11 sectors green. Consumer discretionary sector stocks are the main drivers of momentum this morning, with some extra support from the top seven banks (+0.61%) and our All Tech index (+0.37%). It's another sign the Aussie market has decoupled its fortunes from US and European indices, which both moved lower last night. Oil remained flat overnight, hovering around US$66.83 a barrel of Brent while gold futures slid 2.5% to US$3404 an ounce after the White House said tariffs would not be imposed on imported gold bars. Spot gold is trading at about US$3355 an ounce this morning.
