Boss Energy's Production Focus Shapes Investment Case Amid Nuclear Revival
June 25, 2026, 1:16 AM EDT. Boss Energy ASX:BOE gains attention as uranium demand strengthens on the global nuclear power push. Its production-focused model provides direct exposure to uranium compared to early explorers. Recent data highlights record output of 456,000 pounds and low production costs of US$30 per pound, underpinning its growth potential. FY26 guidance targets 1.6 million pounds with improved cost efficiencies. However, large uranium inventory and limited contract coverage expose Boss Energy to uranium price volatility.

15 Multibagger Stocks Outperform Nifty Amid Market Volatility
June 25, 2026, 1:13 AM EDT. Despite a muted Nifty performance amid global uncertainty, 15 stocks including Aditya Infotech and Sterlite Technologies have delivered multibagger returns. This outperformance is attributed to resilient corporate earnings in small- and mid-cap sectors, strong company-specific factors like capacity expansion and product launches, and sectoral tailwinds in defence, electronics manufacturing, and telecom infrastructure. Sanjay Doshi of Abakkus Flexi Cap Fund highlights that while Q4 FY26 earnings remained robust due to inventory buffers, the impact of rising crude oil and natural gas prices is expected in Q1 FY27. Risks include currency depreciation, cost pressures, and a weaker monsoon affecting rural consumption. However, easing geopolitical tensions could improve earnings from Q2 FY27, supporting a manageable FY27 earnings outlook despite near-term volatility.

CEO Clay Magouyrk and CFO Hilary Maxson emphasized ongoing cloud capacity expansion and forecast $70 billion capex, partially offset by customer prepayments for AI hardware totaling $75 billion. Oracle’s capital intensity underscores challenges turning AI investments into immediate earnings.

South Korea's IPO Market Slump Tied to Chaebol Structure and Governance Rules
June 24, 2026, 7:27 PM EDT. South Korea’s IPO market has sharply declined in 2024, with just 15 new listings and $700 million raised year-to-date, lagging behind regional peers like Malaysia. The drop stems from government attempts to boost corporate valuations by restricting parent-subsidiary listings, which aims to improve minority shareholder protections and curb control by family-run conglomerates known as Chaebols. These conglomerates represent around 70% of South Korea’s market capitalization and often keep valuations low to mitigate high inheritance taxes. The Korea Exchange plans to delist about 300 zombie companies by next year to redirect capital to new firms. Despite the IPO slump, South Korea’s main index, the Kospi, has more than doubled in value over the past year.

Cocoa Prices Surge Over 7% on Heavy Ivory Coast Rains Impacting Supply
June 24, 2026, 7:12 PM EDT. Cocoa prices climbed sharply on Wednesday, with September ICE NY cocoa up 7.06% and July ICE London cocoa rising 7.05%, reaching five-month highs. Heavy rains in Ivory Coast, the world’s top producer, have flooded roads, limiting farmers’ access to farms and ports, threatening supply chains. Excess moisture raises the risk of brown rot disease, potentially reducing yields. Despite some supply gains from increased shipments to ports, fears persist due to weather abnormalities linked to an El Niño event forecast to lower future production. Additionally, early data signal a weak 2026/27 harvest. Meanwhile, rising ICE cocoa inventories and subdued demand in North America and Europe exert bearish pressure. The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz may ease shipping costs. Overall, weather disruptions and supply concerns are outweighing demand and inventory trends, pushing prices higher.

Speculation of Tighter Fed Policy Boosts Dollar and Pressures Gold
June 24, 2026, 5:52 PM EDT. The U.S. dollar index rose 0.20% to a 13-month high amid expectations of tighter Federal Reserve (Fed) policy and higher interest rates later this year. This strengthened dollar weighed on the euro, which fell 0.25% to a one-year low, despite some recovery after hawkish comments from ECB’s Isabel Schnabel. The Japanese yen weakened against the dollar, pressured by slower Bank of Japan (BOJ) policy normalization, although hawkish comments limited losses.

Market expectations show a 34% chance of a 25 basis point Fed rate hike in July, while the ECB is seen as likely to raise rates with a 9% probability at its next meeting.

Natural Gas Prices Rise on Warmer U.S. Weather and Supply Outlook
June 24, 2026, 5:20 PM EDT. Natural gas futures climbed 2.35% as U.S. weather forecasts shifted to hotter conditions, boosting demand for electricity to power air conditioning. The Commodity Weather Group expects above-average temperatures through early July in key regions. Support also came from anticipated below-average weekly natural gas storage builds, with the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecasting a 67 billion cubic feet (bcf) increase versus the five-year average of 75 bcf. Meanwhile, dry gas production rose modestly to 111.1 bcf/day year-on-year. Supply concerns internationally include damage to Qatar’s Ras Laffan LNG plant, which supplies 20% of global liquefied natural gas and may take years to repair. Despite recent lower U.S. electricity output and stable inventory levels, tighter global LNG supplies underpin medium-term price support.
