The Reserve Bank 'observed that it might be prudent to lower interest rates cautiously as the required degree of policy restrictiveness declines,' according to minutes of its July 7-8 board meeting released in Sydney on Tuesday. The case to leave the cash rate at 3.85% was the 'stronger one,'a majority of members concluded.

Eurozone Consumers' Mood Improves a Little
Consumers in the eurozone are a little less gloomy as inflation stabilizes, and despite a background of global economic uncertainty, a monthly survey showed Wednesday. The European Commission's flash consumer-confidence indicator for the eurozone rose to minus 14.7 in July from minus 15.3 in June. The less pessimistic mood comes on the back of a series of interest-rate cuts by the European Central Bank since last summer, and a rate of annual price inflation that is now holding steady around the 2% mark considered optimal by the ECB.

Austral Resources to acquire Lady Loretta mine
Copper producer Austral Resources Australia has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to acquire the Lady Loretta mining lease and associated exploration permits for minerals (EPMs) from Glencore's subsidiaries. The move will allow Austral to tap into additional copper resources adjacent to its Lady Annie Project, bolstering copper development in north-west Queensland. The acquisition is poised to enhance Austral's mining operations by integrating the Lady Loretta zinc-lead-silver-producing mine site, which is located 150km north-west of Mount Isa, Queensland. The high-grade lead-zinc orebody currently undergoes extraction at a rate of 1.6 million tonnes per year. Glencore's Lady Loretta underground zinc operations are set to continue until the planned closure date of December 2025. Austral's assumption of responsibility for mining operations and the mine's progressive rehabilitation is expected to commence following the completion of the transaction. Austral chairman David Newling said: 'We are extremely excited with the acquisition of Lady Loretta and the strongly beneficial impact it could have as a part of our long-term copper production profile. 'Lady Loretta is an eminently sensible acquisition for us, given its tenements and ours abut, and that it enables a meaningful extension of copper mining from our Lady Annie deposit, which will support production from our Mt Kelly SX-EW processing facility." The transaction's structure is expected to involve the acquisition of the Glencore entity that owns and operates Lady Loretta, along with several related EPMs. The final binding documentation is conditional upon the mineral lease renewal and other standard terms. Newling added: 'Lady Loretta, together with our own Mt Kelly processing plant and recently acquired Rocklands project and processing plant from Copper Resources Australia Limited reveal our ambition to consolidate sensible parts of the Mt Isa and Cloncurry copper region. "We are of the belief that many of the regional assets would strongly profit from the benefits that consolidation can bring, such as blended mining and processing strategies, along with the reduced cost profile that a larger organisation can bring.'
