ASX 200 slumps after Donald Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs are temporarily reinstated a day after court blocks the levies
The ASX 200 dived on Friday after a temporary pause was placed on a court ruling that blocked US President Donald Trump's Liberation Day tariffs. The index is down 0.3 per cent in the first 35 minutes of trading with uranium miners shedding some of their booms from earlier in the week. Paladin Energy is down 4.1 per cent, Boss Energy sank 4.1 per cent while aluminium miner Alcoa Corporation shed 3.5 per cent and battery minerals company Liontown Resources has dropped 4.8 per cent. The slump follows the White House accusing the Court of International Trade of abusing its power and 'usurping the authority' of the President after blocking his Liberation Day tariffs. The federal appeals court enforced an administrative stay on the ruling, effectively pausing the impacts of the court's action for now. Trump took to Truth Social to praise the temporary pause on the ruling before attacking the three judges who handed down the initial decision. "Where do these initial three Judges come from?" the US President said. "How is it possible for them to have potentially done such damage to the United States of America? "Is it purely a hatred of 'TRUMP?' What other reason could it be?" Major US indexes shot up on open before shedding most of the gains after the ruling was put on hold. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 finished up 0.4 per cent, while the Dow Jones rose 0.3 per cent on Thursday. London's FTSE 250 Index rose 0.3 per cent, Germany's DAX fell 0.4 per cent and the STOXX Europe 600 slumped 0.2 per cent. New Zealand's NZX 50 Index is up 0.3 per cent and Japan's Nikkei 225 is down 1.5 per cent on Friday.

Closing Bell: ASX finishes dead flat as Trump reignites tariff dread
ASX fends off losses, finishing up by less than one point US markets slumped after Trump threatened 50% tariff on EU Uranium stocks celebrate new executive orders promoting nuclear industry The ASX has managed to find its feet after a rough day of trading, scraping up by just 0.1 points by the end of the day to finish flat. It was a three-pronged effort from several different sectors of the market to get us there, with a particularly strong contribution from the Info Tech sector. As Stockhead's very own, non-fungible Eddy Sunarto detailed in the Lunch Wrap earlier today, WiseTech (ASX:WTC) locked into its biggest deal yet, putting $3.25 billion toward acquiring Texas-based e2open. The company says it's a step toward becoming the 'operating system' for global trade. The gold sector also did its part today, climbing after a 2% bump to US$3,365.80 an ounce on Friday. The ASX All Ords Gold index was flying, up more than 2%. The final pillar of today's escape from the bears was uranium stocks, which have been surging since Donald Trump inked several executive orders aimed at quadrupling domestic production of nuclear power within the next quarter century. Here, read Josh Chiat's Resources Top 5 today for more on that. The usual suspects were basking in the atomic-green glow; Boss Energy (ASX:BOE) jumped another 7.29%, Deep Yellow (ASX:DYL) 13.25% and Paladin Energy (ASX:PDN) 9.27%. It wasn't just the big boys on the up, either – Lotus Resources (ASX:LOT) jumped 9.46% and Bannerman Energy (ASX:BMN) 3.53%. Turning the US into a nuclear leader Over the weekend, US President Trump became the nuclear industry's newest champion, signing three new executive orders with the goal of 're-establishing the United States as the global leader in nuclear energy'. The US was the first to harness nuclear energy into a weapon with the Manhattan Project in 1945, but the USSR beat them to the punch to create the first nuclear power plant at Obnisk in 1954. The US was pretty keen on nuclear power during the Cold War, slated to build more than 100 reactors until the Three Mile Island incident in 1974. (Yes, the same reactor Microsoft is planning to revive.) You might've never heard of it, but it was the worst nuclear disaster to occur on US soil (that we know of) and it spelled the end of nuclear fever in the US the same way the Fukushima incident did for Japan in 2011. As with most nuclear disasters, it was poor instrumentation and even worse emergency training that caused the real danger at Three Mile, and the accident was resolved with little evidence of lasting damage. Meanwhile, stepping back into the present… President Trump wants to increase the United State's nuclear energy capacity from 100 gigawatts at present to 400GW by 2050. His plans for that include ramping up power at existing plants, as well as initiating the build of 10 new large reactors by 2030. The executive orders also detail reorganising and cutting funding to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, including imposing a hard upper limit of 18 months to make licensing decisions for new reactors. "Today's executive orders allow for reactor design testing at DOE labs, clear the way for construction on federal lands to protect national and economic security, and remove regulatory barriers by requiring the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to issue timely licensing decisions,' the White House statement on the orders read. While no one is a fan of red tape, nuclear power is one of the sectors in which it's arguably most important. Ramping up the construction of new reactors while also reducing oversight and regulation seems like a very short-sighted tactic that could have some incredibly long-term consequences. That said, if done safely – read: carefully, with high levels of oversight – nuclear power can be a powerful tool in the decarbonisation utility box, providing steady base-line power over long periods of time with very little carbon impact post construction.

It's a straight cash deal, no conditions attached, and Focus reckons it's a smart move to cash in while gold prices are high. The payout will bulk up Focus' balance sheet as it shifts focus to developing the Bonnie Vale underground mine and ramping up mining at Coolgardie. Lanthanein Resources (ASX:LNR) has pulled the pin on its farm-in deal with Gondwana Resources for the Lady Grey lithium project. The agreement would have let it earn up to 70% of the project, but it's now walking away to focus on other opportunities that better fit its game plan. Red Mountain Mining (ASX:RMX) has confirmed multiple stibnite veins, key to antimony, at its Armidale project in NSW, with an inferred strike of over 1km at Oaky Creek North. Coarse mineralisation was also found at Oaky Creek South, suggesting a broader system split by the Namoi Fault. With antimony prices surging past US$60,000 a tonne and global supply tightening, RMX sees strong tailwinds for its timing and ground position. Fintech firm Way2VAT (ASX:W2V) has signed a major global contract with real estate giant JLL, covering around 25 of JLL's entities worldwide. The deal includes using Way2VAT's tech to automate VAT claims on travel, entertainment, and accounts payable invoices, plus its new APAI compliance platform. JLL, which operates in over 80 countries and pulls in more than US$20 billion a year, is expected to become a significant revenue source for Way2VAT.

It's now weighing up options, including potential sales or other capital moves that could benefit shareholders. The review won't include its flagship Kameelburg niobium-REE project in Namibia which remains the main focus. The company believes that asset has the potential to be world class, possibly hosting a global top 3 niobium-REE deposit once a JORC resource is completed. Projects under review include Niobe, Wyemandoo, Narndee and a majority stake in the EPL 7895 gold project. No decision has been made yet, and it's not guaranteed that any deal will happen. Aldoro says it'll keep the market posted if anything material comes from the review. Horseshoe Metals (ASX:HOR) is getting close to the start line at its Horseshoe Lights copper-gold project, with camp infrastructure mostly back up and running. It has sorted power, water and Starlink comms. The site is being prepped to kick off Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) copper operations and sales from existing high-grade stockpiles, with a mining licence expected soon. It's also laying the groundwork for partner Melody Gold to process surface gold material. Exploration and drilling are also on the cards over the next few months. Zenith Minerals (ASX:ZNC) is shifting gears at its Split Rocks project, pivoting from lithium to gold after spotting regional structures that haven't been properly tested. Stockhead's Tylah Tully breaks it all down in a new video now ready to watch.

ASX ekes out gains on Trump's latest move
Cautious investors helped drive the Australian sharemarket higher on the back of a retreat in US treasury yields and low trading volumes. The benchmark ASX200 index finished slightly higher, up 12.20 points or 0.15 per cent to finish the week up 8,360.90. Meanwhile, the broader All Ordinaries also finished in the green up 15.30 points or 0.18 per cent to 8,586.70. The Aussie dollar is trading around US64.34c. On Wall Street overnight, there was a sizeable reversal in the US10-year yield which helped drive the overseas market higher. This helped drive a mixed day on the Australian market. Six sectors finished in the green, while five fell, with the gains led by information technology and energy stocks. WiseTech jumped 1.33 per cent to $100.05, while it was a good day for Technology One Limited, up 1.61 per cent to $38.61 and Life360 which grew 1.08 per cent to $31.56. It was also a strong day for the financial sector, with all four major banks rising during Friday's trading. Commonwealth Bank jumped 0.65 per cent to $173.84, while NAB was up 0.88 per cent to $37.70, ANZ finished 0.76 per cent higher at $29.07 and Westpac eked out a gain up 0.064 per cent to $31.24. Meanwhile the nuclear energy sectors were the major winners driving the energy sector. Boss Energy was the best performing share on the local bourse surging 12.12 per cent to $3.98 while Deep Yellow jumped 8.260 per cent to $1.24 and Paladin Energy finished 6.654 per cent higher to $5.77. The surge in uranium stocks came on the back of the latest White House executive order aimed at jump-starting the nuclear energy industry. Moomoo market strategist Jessica Amir said the Australian uranium players grew despite not having direct exposure to the US market. 'The companies that are operating in Australia aren't really selling to the US, but a rising tide lifts all boats,' Ms Amir said. 'It doesn't necessarily mean that they're going to be beneficiaries of what he's announced, but I will say we need to consider who the biggest companies in this space are … including Constellation Energy and Vistra.' Despite the overall jump in shares, Ms Amir said it was many defensive sectors including gold miners that were helping to drive the ASX on Friday. 'The theme of the week is government debt and of course the White House is closer to passing the 'big beautiful Bill', which potentially will see them increase the debt limit while also cutting taxes,' she said. In corporate news, shares in Origin Energy fell 1.1 per cent to $11.05 after flagging LNG price cuts which will impact future profitability. Shares in retailer Myer leapt 5.41 per cent to $0.78 on Friday after the department store owner reported growth in its own stores, while its newly acquired Apparel Brands from Premier Investment saw revenue slide.

Closing Bell: ASX adds 0.15pc as uranium stocks burn white hot
Info Tech, Energy sectors leads ASX higher Trump rumoured to sign nuclear executive order tonight Uranium stocks surge higher The ASX posted a 0.15% gain in trade today, resisting uncertainty from a mixed session on Wall Street. The Info Tech and Energy sectors were the MVPs, up more than 1% each. Silex Systems (ASX:SLX) added 16.44%, Novonix (ASX:NVX) gained 10.23% and Fineos (ASX:FCL) lifted 5.51%. Otherwise, the big movements were pretty much all in uranium stocks: Boss Energy (ASX:BOE) +12.82% Lotus Resources (ASX:LOT) +11.77% Bannerman Energy (ASX:BMN) +11.66% Deep Yellow (ASX:DYL) +9.13% Paladin Energy (ASX:PDN) +7.02% Those gains boosted the ASX Small Ordinaries index, which added 0.42% alongside strength in ASX200 Bank and All Technology indices. So, why is uranium so hot right now? Is Trump about to kick-start the nuclear industry? Reuters has reported US President Trump will sign an executive order to boost the nuclear energy industry in the US as early as this evening, according to four unnamed sources said to be familiar with the matter. A draft of the orders apparently details several measures the administration will take, including: Directing agencies to permit new nuclear facilities Streamlining development processes Encouraging increased loan guarantees and direct loans to increase the rate of reactor construction While this information comes from only a draft of potential orders, if Trump does sign them as expected, it could kick-start the US uranium industry. Australia has one of the largest uranium resources in the world. After Russia and China, we're also one of the largest producers of uranium ore globally. Given the US is very keen to divest away from those two spheres of influence at present, the Australian uranium market is a very attractive – and strategically viable – option. Even without Trump's intervention, the uranium market has been moving back into bullish territory based on market fundamentals, with demand beginning to outstrip supply. Spot uranium prices hit a 17-year-high in January at US$107/pound before dramatically pulling back to US$63.45/pound by mid-March. Since then, the commodity has soared 20% to US$71.25 per pound, with term contract pricing remaining steady at US$80/pound. Unlike most commodities, uranium generally isn't traded on the open market. Most demand comes from utilities who buy directly from producers in long-term contracts. Those utilities are currently buying uranium in the spot market, an indication they're testing the waters before locking in new long-term contracts. Regardless of whether the bullish sentiment will last, ASX uranium stocks are already benefiting.

It's prepping for a September quarter drill campaign targeting rare earths and antimony, with up to 12.1% TREO and 46% Sb reported at key sites. The project sits near MP Materials' Mountain Pass Mine and includes the historically high-grade Desert Antimony Mine. Janus Electric Holdings (ASX:JNS) is also climbing, after listing to the ASX two days ago at a share price of $0.20. JNS has since climbed as high as $0.29 intraday, a strong indication of investor interest in the newly listed heavy vehicle conversion and swappable battery company.
