ASX extends gains on US-China talk hopes; Monash plummets on IVF bungle
The Australian sharemarket extended its gains in early afternoon, buoyed by hopes constructive talks between the US and China will ease global trade tensions as officials struck a positive tone after the first day of negotiations. The S&P/ASX 200 rose 64.7 points, or 0.8 per cent, to 8580.49 as of 1.11pm AEST. Nine of the 11 industry sectors rose, with banks, consumer and energy stocks leading the gains. CBA hit a fresh record high, while Monash shares plummeted following news of another IVF bungle. The bourse was closed on Monday for the King's Birthday holiday. The Australian dollar strengthened overnight, and was flat at US65.18¢ at 1.13pm AEST. American and Chinese officials met in London on Monday to talk about a range of different disputes that are separating them. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the discussions were 'fruitful' and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent cited a 'good meeting'. 'We are doing well with China. China's not easy,' President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House. 'I'm only getting good reports.' The advisers will meet again on Tuesday at 10am in London, according to a US official, as the two sides look to ease tensions over shipments of technology and rare earth elements. Loading Markets across Asia edged up as traders closely followed the talks between the two economic superpowers. On the ASX, consumer discretionary and financial stocks led the local market higher as investors stepped up their bets for a de-escalation of the global trade war. 'There's this growing optimism again that the negotiations will ultimately reach an agreement,' said Takeru Ogihara, a Tokyo-based executive strategist at Asset Management One. 'If the US and China can come together, it will be a positive development for the global economy.'

Use code JUNEOFY20 While you can still shop from eBay without a Plus membership, if you do sign up, you receive access to exclusive offers, free express metro delivery and free returns on select items. An eBay Plus membership costs $4.99 per month, or $49 for the year, but there's also a 30-day free trial to take advantage of, which is great if you want to try it out first and see if it suits. And during EOFY sales is the best time to test the waters as there are huge savings to be made on what is already heavily reduced stock. In Australia, the financial year starts on July 1 and ends on June 30 the following year. Before June 30, retailers drastically reduce their prices in order to clear out their old stock before the new financial year begins. Now known as the end of financial year sales, this the time where we can take advantage of epic discounts on a wide range of items from must-have fashion and beauty to big ticket items such as tech and home appliances. There is no official start date for the end of financial year sales. Most retailers kick off their sales from June 1, but then you might find some starting to drop deals even earlier or hold out until around June 30. Keep this page bookmarked and we'll keep a running update of all the best EOFY sales from eBay throughout the month. There's no set run time, and you'll find each retailer differs. Some run their sale for the entire month of June, whereas others will pick just a few key days or a week to promote their EOFY sales. Generally speaking, all the sales will be over once June 30 rolls around. Want to find out about more great specials and sales events? Sign up to our free weekly shopping newsletter to stay in the loop on the best deals and trends.

US government throws more weight behind Dateline rare earths
Dateline Resources has scored another major political win in its bid to develop the Colosseum rare earths project in California after United States Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum publicly backed the mine's revival in a national television appearance. Appearing on Fox News over the weekend, Burgum, who is also chairman of the powerful National Economic Development Council (NEDC), declared the restart of the Colosseum project as 'pivotal' in securing America's critical mineral future. The Secretary underscored the importance of reducing US reliance on overseas rare earth supply chains and spotlighted the Trump administration's mission to ramp up domestic mineral production. 'With this support, we will do everything we can to help unleash American rare earth independence.' Dateline Resources managing director Stephen Baghdadi Shortly after, Dateline's management met with Burgum in Washington DC, where federal support for the Colosseum project has been put on the fast track. The Secretary has directed the NEDC's top brass to coordinate efforts across US government agencies to expedite the project's development, effectively giving Dateline the green light for federal-level collaboration. Dateline Resources managing director Stephen Baghdadi said: 'We thank Secretary Burgum for his leadership and continued engagement with our industry. We intend to work closely with the Trump administration to implement a comprehensive strategy to strengthen the US critical minerals supply chain. With this support, we will do everything we can to help unleash American rare earth independence and ensure the United States secures a reliable, domestic source of these essential materials.' Dateline's fully owned Colosseum project sits in California's Walker Lane Trend and already has a juicy gold resource of 27.1 million tonnes at 1.26 grams per tonne for 1.1 million ounces of gold. Last month, the company upped the gold price assumption on its gold project scoping study to US$2900 (A$4461) per ounce to deliver a whopping net present value of US$550M (A$846M) and a healthy payback of just 19 months. The project's potential for a rare earths discovery has lit up the government's radar, given its striking geological similarities to the US's only active rare earths mine - the nearby fabled Mountain Pass mine.
