Long gold price rally poised to reshape the ASX's big indices
Evolution Mining is expected to headline a flurry of changes to the ASX's biggest indices as gold producer stocks soar amid investor interest in the precious metal as a haven from broader market turmoil.
Evolution, which has mines around the country, is set to join the S&P/ASX 50 index in the ASX's quarterly rebalance, to be announced next Friday and take effect a fortnight later. The company's share price has soared 84 per cent this year, and it will replace PLS, the lithium producer known until recently as Pilbara Minerals, according to Morgan Stanley analysts.

US share price rockets as Dateline stacks up rare earths-gold system
Dual-listed Dateline Resources saw its share price go ballistic on the United States market on Friday, on the back of the company's latest modelling showing historically mined breccia pipes at its Colosseum gold project in California are surrounded by a large zoned felsite-breccia pipe complex. The company is also now firmly on the hunt for rare earth elements (REE) at the project. Dateline's share price was already on a huge run in Australia. The past four weeks have been spectacular, as the company's share price repeatedly reached new highs on huge turnovers. The trend continued today. Dateline's share price closed at $0.145 on the ASX, up from $0.097 at Friday's close, on almost 219.2M shares traded. Based on a 15-cent trading price, Dateline's ASX-listed share price has risen 4186 per cent so far in 2025 and 1567 per cent over May. During last Friday's trading in the US, the company hit US$0.20 (A$0.30) per share. Dateline is listed on the 'pink sheets' OTC market in the US under the ticker DTREF but is looking to move to the higher-profile OTCQB Venture market to make its shares more accessible to investors. Dateline's revised modelling, based on old records and geological mapping, shows the Colosseum pipes were formed along with an underlying felsic intrusive event. Recently sampled felsite dykes 200 metres to 900m from Colosseum's open pits have a right-angled cross-fracture network and ring-dyke pattern typical of deep-seated intrusive bodies punched nearly vertically into the surrounding geology. Along with identifying the network pattern, the discovery shows the two historically mined gold pipes correlate with a similar pattern of gravity lows defined by the company's 2023 gravity survey. The interpretation suggests the two Colosseum pipes could be just two of many breccia pipes in the complex. Unlike the rest of the breccia iceberg, the first two pipes rose to shallow depths and were exposed by subsequent erosion.

ASX slumps during Monday's trading on Steel and aluminium tariffs
Australian stocks fell slightly on Monday, following a negative lead in from Wall Street on the back of US President Donald Trump doubling tariffs on steel and aluminium. The benchmark ASX 200 index slid 20.60 points or 0.24 per cent to 8,414.10. The broader All Ordinaries also fell, down 22.80 or 0.26 per cent to 8,637.50. The Australian dollar finished in the green and is now buying 64.68 US cents. On an overall negative day for the market, eight of the 11 sectors dragged the index lower, with telecommunications, industrials and consumer staples being the rare bright spots. All three major iron ore miners slipped, with BHP falling 1.23 per cent to $37.78, Rio Tinto slumping 1.70 per cent to $110.75 and Fortescue Metals retreating 2.53 per cent to $15. It was a mixed day for the big four banks, with CBA rose 0.27 per cent to $176.42 to be the only major bank to trade higher. Shares in Westpac slumped 1.17 per cent to $32.18, while NAB is down 0.68 per cent to $37.74 and ANZ finished in the red down 0.21 per cent to $28.98. Despite the price of crude oil rising, petroleum companies Ampol fell 0.74 per cent to $25.34, Woodside slid 1.12 per cent to $22, and Santos slumped 1.52 per cent to $6.49. During Monday's trading, US futures dived after US President Donald Trump said he would double the tariffs placed on steel and aluminium from Wednesday. IG market analyst Tony Sycamore said the Australian market has performed 'reasonably well' despite a number of negative headlines impacting the ASX 200 including the latest tariff move by President Trump. 'We had a 25 to 50 per cent tariff added to steel and aluminium exports, which obviously was a hit to sentiment,' he said. Mr Sycamore also pointed to President Trump's 'big beautiful bill', which would extend Trump's tax cuts from 2017 at the same time as lifting the debt ceiling, and increasing spending on border security and the military. 'We need to be mindful that revenues need to be raised given the fact Trump's bill is before the senate and he is going to want to pass that, so he will need to show revenue gains and that can only be done through the different avenues to raise tariffs,' he said. He also pointed to military moves both in the Middle East and Ukraine-Russia conflict adding to global uncertainty. In company news, shares in Brickworks and Washington H Soul Patts were the two biggest winners on the ASX. Shares in Soul Patts leapt 16.44 per cent to $43 while Brickworks soared 27.59 per cent to $35.10 after the two businesses announced a $14bn merger. BlueScope Steel also jumped 4.4 per cent to $23.75 on the back of Trump's tariff decision, with the market seeing it as a major winner as it makes half its money from operations within the US.
