What’s shaping the day

Companies and shares

Why this can matter
This part of the day's coverage includes 1 report from Financial Post. The linked headlines above show what each source reported.
Company news can affect a share price through profits, future sales, funding needs or changes in ownership. An index may also move when a large member moves, even if many smaller companies go the other way.
Read the company's own statement alongside the report. Higher revenue does not always mean higher profit, and a good past quarter does not guarantee a good next quarter. Plans, forecasts and completed deals should be treated differently.
Check which company and exchange the story concerns, the period covered and whether the figures are results or forecasts.

Why this can matter
This part of the day's coverage includes 4 reports from Reserve Bank of Australia speeches, ABC Australia Business. The linked headlines above show what each source reported.
Markets respond to several things at once: company results, policy, currencies and changes in risk appetite. The reports below add context to the day, but a headline appearing before a price move does not prove it caused that move.
Read the original source for the action, timing and conditions. In regulation, a proposal is different from a final rule. In a deal, an announcement is different from completion. These details determine when a report could matter to a business or investor.
Look for a dated official update and what still has to happen. Treat an unconfirmed report as an open question.
