No clubs, no worries as prodigy makes US Open move
After surviving a real-life nightmare, American golf prodigy Amari Avery has Australian Gabriela Ruffels to thank for being in the thick of the mix at the US Women's Open in Wisconsin. Avery had to borrow Ruffels' clubs for the second round following a frightening midnight mix-up after an intruder tried to break in to her rental home near Milwaukee. The 20-year-old former junior world champion was forced to hastily pack up all her gear in the middle of the night and book into a hotel. Unfortunately, Avery's boyfriend was using the same type of travel bag and flew back to Los Angeles with her clubs on Friday morning (Saturday AEST). In one of golf's wildest tales, the blunder left Avery needing to use Ruffels' clubs, and even the hat off the Australian's head. Ruffels had missed the cut following her morning round before Avery proceeded to defy the odds and climb into contention at the year's second major. With consecutive birdies at the 14th and 15th holes, her fifth and sixth of the day after teeing off on No.10, Avery surged to three under for the championship. She dropped a shot on her 12th hole but was only six strokes off the lead, tied for 20th at two under with Australian stars Minjee Lee and Hannah Green, when a storm forced the suspension of play. Avery will return to the course, possibly with her own equipment, hunting down Japanese leader Mao Saigo when her boyfriend's mother flies back with her clubs on Saturday.

Jamie Dimon says crack in the US bond market is ‘going to happen'
(Bloomberg) -- Jamie Dimon warned that a crack in the bond market is 'going to happen' after the US government and Federal Reserve 'massively overdid' spending and quantitative easing. 'I just don't know if it's going to be a crisis in six months or six years, and I'm hoping that we change both the trajectory of the debt and the ability of market makers to make markets,' the JPMorgan Chase chief executive officer said on Friday (Saturday AEST) at the Reagan National Economic Forum. 'Unfortunately, it may be that we need that to wake us up.'

Trump rages at ‘hustler' judges with his tariff agenda at mercy of the courts
Washington: President Donald Trump's sweeping worldwide tariffs will remain in place while the government pursues an appeal that will almost certainly be decided by the Supreme Court, with the administration saying it expects America's trading partners to keep negotiating deals in the meantime. The Court of International Trade on Thursday struck down a large swath of Trump's tariffs, finding the president overstepped his legal authority by using emergency powers. Less than 24 hours later, a federal judge in Washington made the same finding in a separate case. However, on Thursday (Friday AEST) a federal appeals court agreed to temporarily preserve the tariffs – which include a 10 per cent levy on Australian goods – while the appeal is urgently held. The White House said it expected the matter to be settled by the US Supreme Court, which could receive an appeal as soon as Friday. The government will argue that Trump has the authority to enact the tariffs under his foreign affairs and national security powers. 'The courts should have no role here,' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said. 'There is a troubling and dangerous trend of unelected judges inserting themselves into the presidential decision-making process. 'America cannot function if President Trump – or any other president for that matter – has their sensitive diplomatic or trade negotiations railroaded by activist judges. These judges are threatening to undermine the credibility of the United States on the world stage.' Trump later issued his first public remarks on the initial Court of International Trade ruling – which found the US Constitution gave Congress exclusive authority to regulate commerce with other countries – calling it 'wrong' and 'political'.

Closing Bell: ASX dodges negative sentiment to climb 0.3pc as gold stocks rally
ASX climbs 0.3pc Gold stocks surge, up almost 2pc Retail sales soften, increasing chance of RBA rate cut The Australian share market worked hard for its gains today, seesawing between negative and positive territory before making a convincing recovery after about 2pm AEST to climb 0.3%. Seven of our 11 sectors ended up crossing over into the green during all that back and forth, with the defensive stock sector Utilities leading the way. While Materials and Financials are sitting fairly middle-of-the-pack at market close, particular sub-sectors outperformed their brethren, making outsized moves on the ASX. Gold stocks left their Materials cousins in the dust, climbing 1.9% as an index while the ASX 200 Resources added only 0.01%. Ora Banda (ASX:OBM) shot up 7.51%, West African Resources (ASX:WAF) added 5.6%, Bellevue Gold (ASX:BGL) 4.21% and Resolute Mining (ASX:RSG) 3.28%. The banks also outperformed other financial stocks, although as big cap stocks the movements were a little less energetic. Westpac (ASX:WBC) jumped 2.68%, NAB (ASX:NAB) 1.33% and Commonwealth Bank (ASX:CBA) managed a positive showing of 0.87% despite some (now resolved) internet banking disruptions for its customers today. All in all, the bourse made a fairly good showing considering the reinstatement of Trump's tariffs by a US Court of Appeals overnight and disappointing Aussie retail data for April. Retail sales soften in April The ABS released its retail turnover numbers for the month of April today, which contracted by 0.1% despite lifting by 0.3% in March. 'Retail spending eased in April, particularly on clothing purchases,' ABS head of business statistics Robert Ewing said. 'Clothing retailers told us that the warmer-than-usual weather for an April month saw people holding off on buying clothing items, especially new winter season stock.' Oxford Economics lead economist Benjamin Udy said Australian consumers are wary of macroeconomic headwinds. 'Today's data shows Queenslanders returned to the shops in April, but that rebound was offset by weaker sales across all other states,' Udy said. "The weakness outside of Queensland may be related to the stalling in the recovery consumer sentiment due to rising global trade uncertainty. 'Unless consumption picks up a little more strongly in the coming months, the RBA may cut rates even sooner than we currently expect.' Yesterday, markets were pricing a 59% chance that the RBA would cut the cash rate to 3.6% at its next meeting.
