Top 10 at 11: Locksley locks in as ASX ticks up in early trade
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 10:15, once trading kicks off in earnest.
In brief, this is what the markets have been up to this morning.
As predicted earlier by Eddy "Soothsayer" Sunarto, the ASX has indeed jumped out of bed with a spring in step, rising 0.44% higher at the time of writing.
As is so often the case, the local benchmark has taken its cues this morning from the US of A. Overnight, Wall Street came back from the long weekend with a bit of pep in its own step.
"The S&P 500 leapt 2% in a late-session rally, while the Nasdaq 100 added 2.5%, powered by a combo of tariff détente and consumers rediscovering their confidence," reported Eddy earlier.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average meanwhile added 741 points.
What else? For those interested in magic internet money, it's overall pace setter – Bitcoin – is still in good shape, maintaining a level not too far off its all-time high. It's hovering just above US$109,000 at the time of writing.
As for the Aussie dollar, that's trading around US64.50c.

Sydney investors flock to Melbourne as locals stall
Interstate investors are swooping on Melbourne's housing market as many local buyers remain cautious after years of rising taxes, tighter regulations and patchy price growth. New data shows Melbourne is hosting 943 auctions this week — up 6 per cent on the same time last year — with another 772 scheduled for next week, according to PropTrack. Suburbs with the most listings include Reservoir (19 auctions), Glen Waverley (18), Craigieburn (16), Mount Waverley (15), and Malvern East (14). But while local activity remains uneven, experts say a significant portion of investor momentum is now coming from interstate, particularly Sydney and Perth, where rising prices and falling yields are pushing buyers to seek better value elsewhere. Ray White Werribee agent John Camilleri said he had recently seen contracts signed before payments cleared. 'We've seen properties in far worse condition sell in the $570,000 to $580,000 range, including one that sold over the phone to an interstate buyer,' Mr Camilleri said. 'The investors inspecting this one came in with full-blown itineraries, some of the most detailed I've ever seen. 'Right now, they're swimming through fire to secure properties — they're not mucking around.' Mr Camilleri said many were chasing weekly rents above $600 and were making 'aggressive plays' in suburbs like Werribee. MR Advocacy director and buyers' agent Madeleine Roberts said out-of-towners were now doing the maths on Melbourne and finding it stacks up. 'They're less emotionally attached to the local market — and that's giving them an edge,' Ms Roberts said. She said strong rental yields and Melbourne's relative affordability compared to Sydney, Brisbane and Perth were major drivers of renewed interest. REBAA President Melinda Jennison said Melbourne was re-emerging as a prime opportunity. 'With stabilising rates, increased migration, and more stock hitting the market, the city is shaping up as a prime spot for savvy investors and first-time buyers alike,' Ms Jennison said. REBAA Victoria state representative Matt Scafidi said the 2024–25 financial year had marked a turning point. 'While it lacked the explosive growth seen in other states, Victoria has remained a market of opportunity, particularly for discerning buyers with long-term outlooks,' Mr Scafidi said. Belle Property Hockingstuart Victoria director Anthony Webb said confidence among local investors was still lagging. 'Victorian investors are still jaded,' Mr Webb said. 'But buyers from NSW and WA believe Melbourne has hit the bottom and are looking long term.' Mr Webb said many locals were still 'gun-shy' after a bruising few years of land tax hikes, regulatory change and rising holding costs — but that sentiment could shift quickly if rate cuts eventuate in the second half of 2025.

Congratulations, you've just won the lottery – here's what you should do next
It's early in the morning, and your phone's ringtone starts to buzz. It's The Lott, and they've just informed you that you're the sole winner of the jackpot the night before. Your heart rate spikes, you close your eyes and imagine everything you can possibly do with your bags of cash. Then reality sets in. Now what? It's been more than two weeks since one lucky Powerball ticketholder nabbed the only division one prize of the $100m Powerball jackpot. Weeks later, they are yet to claim their winnings, with The Lott revealing the mystery division one winner purchased their winning ticket from a newsagent in Bondi in Sydney. So, if you were the lucky one to hold the wining ticket, what exactly would you do first? Take a deep breath It's natural to get overworked as the reality of winning the jackpot hits you, so experts recommend you stop, take a deep breath and give yourself time to think. There's no need to reveal your identity, either, even to family or friends, RSM Financial Services Australia director Grace Bacon said. 'There will always be someone in your circle that feels they would like financial assistance, and you may feel pressured to assist them,' she told NewsWire. 'It's sad to say, but money can end very long-term family and friend relationships – I've seen it happen. You can get very caught up in what people need from you versus what you need for yourself.' White Rabbit Advisory financial planner Nicola Beswick said winners in Australia had the 'legal right to stay anonymous' to protect their 'safety and decision-making'. 'As hard as it is, keep quiet!' she told NewsWire. 'You will find lots of new best friends if you don't. Stay calm, remain anonymous, and book a confidential meeting with a trusted financial adviser.' Lock your winnings down Before you begin splashing your cash on a new home, holiday or paying off your debts, Ms Beswick recommends parking the winnings in a bank while you work on your 'long-term strategy'. However, she warns against relying on 'one account or bank' to reduce risk and allow 'time to plan properly before making any big decisions'. 'Spread the funds over multiple high-interest savings accounts or term deposits to stay within government deposit guarantees ($250,000 per institution),' she said. Do winners have to pay any taxes? Thankfully, the ATO does not classify a lottery win as an income, meaning the ticket holder will be awarded their full jackpot. With that in mind, Ms Bacon said winners may need to fork out a bit of cash if they are a 'regular game show contestant' or make any investments with their winnings. 'Keep in mind that once you start investing, you may have to pay tax on your investment earnings,' she told NewsWire. Avoid impulse spending As tempting as it is to splurge as soon as your bank account becomes fatter, financial advisers urge winners to avoid making too many rash decisions. Ms Bacon told NewsWire that winners should steer clear of impulse spending, no matter how alluring the idea could be. 'It may be very tempting to go on a shopping spree but ensure you set some smart financial goals so that you can use this new-found wealth to create something more sizeable for the longer term,' she said. Don't quit your job (just yet) Ms Beswick also advised winners to 'avoid making any decisions straight away'. This includes calling your boss and handing in your letter of resignation. 'Don't quit your job on the spot,' she said. 'Take some leave so that you can think clearly. 'Protect your identity and your future by taking things slowly and getting professional advice.' Make a list before you spend With lashings of cash at your disposal, it's easy to list off all the things you could spend your money on – holidays, fancy cars or a cheeky shopping spree. However, it's extremely common for people to lose their winnings almost as soon as they pocket it due to unregulated spending or failing to pay back debts. Ms Beswick said you could avoid this by writing a list with two columns – one titled 'need' and the other 'want' – before spending anything. 'The 'need' column will include things like buying or paying off your home, helping out family and investing a certain amount,' she said. 'The 'want' column will have material things that are not a priority – a holiday in Rome, a new Lamborghini, a private jet with a personal chef and gold-plated seatbelt buckles.' Have a 'bucket' strategy At the end of the day, the best way to avoid lottery wins slipping through your fingers is by having a solid financial plan. Ms Bacon recommends using a 'bucket' strategy to keep an ongoing pool of money to dip into whenever required. 'Money is not a bottomless pit no matter how big the win is,' she said. 'I suggest having a 'bucket' strategy so that you reward yourself and loved ones to celebrate the win (it might be that big holiday you've always dreamt of or that particular car), but having medium-term and long-term buckets for the bulk of the winnings will help fund your future.'
