Europe little changed
ASX Futures little changed

U.S. stocks fluctuated after erasing an early slide, as a rally in
drugmakers spurred by deal activity offset declines in commodity
shares led by falling crude-oil prices.
The S&P 500 Index was little changed, falling just 0.1 per cent to
2,182.6 points after earlier falling as much as 0.4 per cent. The Dow
Jones Industrial Average fell 0.1 per cent as well, while the Nasdaq
Composite Index added 0.1 per cent.
As earnings season is concluding, investors are expected to now turn
back to the Fed and its Monetary Policy. There is an increasing number
of analysts stating that U.S. stocks are close to ‘bubble territory’ and
upcoming data announcements will likely provide further clues.
A slide in commodity producers weighed on European equities, which
pared earlier gains. While a weaker euro initially helped the Stoxx
Europe 600 Index rise as much as 0.9 percent, the gains were short-
lived. The gauge fell before ending the day up 0.1 percent. Miners
dropped the most, as commodities declined on a stronger dollar

The local share market declined on Monday after numerous companies
reported financial results following a flat week of trading. The ASX/S&P
Volatility Index jumped over 7 per cent.
The sectors were a mixed bag as most industry groups declined with
the exception of Consumer Staples, Industrials and Utilities. Energy
shares fell over 1 per cent, closely followed by resource stocks and
telecommunications.
The ASX 200 declined 12 points or 0.2 per cent to finish the day at
5515 points. The broader All Ordinaries index fell 13 points or 0.2 per
cent.
Fortescue Metals (FMG) reported a net profit after income tax of
US$985 million for the 2016 financial year, up 212 per cent from a
result of US$316 million a year earlier. Revenue declined 17 per cent
to US$7.1 billion due to weaker iron ore prices. APN Outdoor (APN)
plunged 35 per cent despite a strong half year, as the advertising
company lowered their EBITDA guidance by ~$5million.

WHATS HOT?
DATE CODE COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT
WHATS NOT?
BSL.asx - steaming hot APO.asx - cooling down
Bluescope Steel announced a 119 per cent
jump in underlying profit on the back of a 8 per
cent rise in revenue. The positive result was
due to contributions from the 100% ownership
of North Star, favourable currency exchange
rates and strong domestic demand.
Management is confident and expects further
improvements during 1H2017. BSL has gained
nearly 100 per cent year-to-date.
While APN Outdoor Group could have been a
‘hot’ stock as recent as last week, today the
company is our ‘not’ stock after a 35 per cent
plunge yesterday. Revenues were up 14 per
cent during the half year, but management
lowered their earnings forecast for the
remainder of the year as the market has
“softened” following the national elections and
the Olympics. Investors reacted with concern.

LATEST UPDATE FROM WISE-OWL
Powerhouse Ventures (PVL)
CODE COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENTFloat Watch: Powerhouse Ventures (PVL)
Powerhouse Ventures Limited ("Powerhouse", "the Company") is a venture
capital firm focused on early stage technology companies in New Zealand. In
partnership with universities and government owned research institutes the
company seeks to identify and invest in Intellectual Property ("IP") which it
intends to commercialise. Powerhouse's portfolio comprises of 19 companies
which are currently all located in New Zealand.
Powerhouse offers speculative exposure to early stage technology
companies. Increasing book valuations is an attractive quality and
diversification of its portfolio could mitigate elevated risks which are typically
associated with investments in companies at this stage of the cycle.
Validation of its business plan via liquidity events could be a major value
driver, however the company has no track record of realising material value
and there is no guarantee that this can be achieved at a reasonable cost.
