'Why is mining more important than people's lives?'

Site of the Dipidio mine north of Manila

Shares in OceanaGold slumped in late trading on a statement by the Philippine government it may force the closure of its Dipidio mine, which has been the subject of recent wrangling between the company and the government.

Apple market value surges

Apple sold 78.29 million iPhones in its fiscal first quarter ended December 31, up from 74.78 million a year earlier.

Shares in Apple leapt more than 6 per cent on its latest results, with at least 12 brokerages lifting their price targets.

8@eight: Waiting for inspiration

After a brief lull, Trumponomics is back.

Apple has supported equity markets, with yesterday's post-market release of Q1 sales of $US78.5 billion ($103.52 billion) and EPS of $US3.36 and seemingly, more importantly, its guide for Q2, that was better than what the market had feared. The daily chart has well and truly broken out to the topside and this is attracting the momentum focused clients and I wouldn't be surprised to see this above $US150 in the coming months here.
