$BHP Group Ltd (BHP.AU)$ The best chart to tell the story is the 12 month chart.
BHP was $50 last Xmas because IO was north of US$140/t.
It's been mostly down hill throughout 2024.
Iron Ore will likely stay down now unless there is a blackswan event like in Jan 2019 when Vale's dam collapsed in Brazil and took considerable supply out of the seabourne market or the CCP does some massive stimulus to support the Chinese steel making industry.
Neither looks likely at present so I think its best to tr...

The latest Edelman Trust Barometer, marking its 20th anniversary, has revealed a sobering trend – a growing sentiment of inequality is eroding trust not just in societal institutions but also in capitalism itself. A notable finding is that many, especially in developed markets, no longer hold the belief that working hard guarantees a better life.
Despite economic progress, a significant portion of respondents don't foresee an imp...

Although price/book ratios for resources stocks are normally pretty low.
It is a common metric for banks though and you can see in a comparison with some domestic and international peers that is out of whack.
PE/Forward PE is hard for resources in these tools because one-offs and resource price cycles can throw ratios out of whack.
Point is that $CommBank (CBA.AU)$ has a huge premium assuming the most optimism.
$Woodside Energy Group Ltd (WDS.AU)$ has growth plans coming on in the coming years...

$BHP Group Ltd (BHP.AU)$ and mineral companies did (heavy media advertising) this during the Gillard era.
The labor government will be voted out next election so it would be a waste of shareholder money to start an advertising blitz, anyone who has done manual labour knows that the Labor Government does NOT represent them. Arguably Bob Hawke was the last Prime Minister who represented the average worker.

$BHP Group Ltd (BHP.AU)$ Goldman released some research on Escondida that showed it’s unionised workforce were paid over double the standard Chile Miners in the sector.
I guess the large fix costs associated with a larger mine with high margins gets the extortion through. I suspect you’ll see more and more automation because of it.

I'm not that impressed by the CPI data out in Australia. It's directionally ok, with "trimmed mean" down to about 0.8% QoQ.
The MoM data is also out, and it's not that impressive.
I don't think it quite warrants a hike, but I also don't think inflation is solved yet.
But with retail sales collapsing, it's pretty obvs that all this inflation is being created by excessive govt spending.
Govt needs a holistic approach to this nonsense - which would be to
1. Cut rates

Our market cracked through the 8000 point barrier for the first time as investors continue to push our big 4 banks higher; $CommBank (CBA.AU)$ and $ANZ Group Holdings Ltd (ANZ.AU)$ added 0.78% NAB put on 0.81%…..I seriously can’t believe CBA is now trading on a whopping PE ratio of 22.49 times profit which is double that of BHP. In other words, on a profitability basis CBA is currently twice as expensive as $BHP Group Ltd (BHP.AU)$ ….And comparing dividends: CBA is paying 3.5% while BHP is likely t...
