1
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Fear and Greed Business News Afternoon Report

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: for Tuesday, the fourteenth of October twenty twenty five. Are

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 1: Michael Thompson. Every afternoon, we've got the five stories that

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: happen today that you need to know about. Let's get

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: cracking with story number one. The S and p ASX

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: two hundred closed zero point two percent higher today to

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: eighty nine hundred points with the miners doing a lot

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: of the heavy lifting across really gold, silver, end iron

9
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: or let's start with gold though, the big day for

10
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: miners of the precious metal, yet another record today. It

11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 1: just seems to keep doing that right above four one

12
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: hundred US dollars and ounce. Neumont climbed four point five percent,

13
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: Northern Star almost three percent, evolution nearly two percent. I

14
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: could just keep going. The list is very long, but

15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: perhaps even more exciting today as a silver miners, Silver

16
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: mines and suns, silver Andy and silver Unico silver, all

17
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: of them were up between six point five and seven

18
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: point three percent today, the price of silver hitting a

19
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: record high as well, just quickly. A couple of the

20
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: losers today which doesn't actually sound very nice, but the

21
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: ones that lost ground, the big four banks, the big

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: insurers IAG, Suncorp and QBE. Retailers like Wes Farmers and

23
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: JB Hi Fi close lower today on the back of

24
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: weaker consumer confidence, and that was according to the latest

25
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: A and Z Roy Morgan survey. On to story number

26
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: two now in the phone numbers of some of Australia's

27
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: most high profile politicians, including Prime Minister Anthony Alberanezi and

28
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: Opposition leader Susan Lee, have been published online by a

29
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: US based website that scrapes and compiles personal data using

30
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence. The government has directed security agencies to investigate

31
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: after the details, which apparently include phone numbers and email

32
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: addresses and some other bits and pieces, were made publicly available.

33
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: The website claims the data is sourced from publicly available

34
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: profiles and offers an opt out option. Though some numbers

35
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,919
Speaker 1: apparently are inaccurate. It does go well beyond just Australian politicians.

36
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: There are global figure included in this league. We'll have

37
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: a bit more on that one tomorrow morning. Story number three.

38
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: Virgin Australia is cutting economy passengers carry on allowance as

39
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: part of a push to improve boarding times and streamline

40
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: operations under the changes. Passengers will be allowed just a

41
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: single bag weighing up to eight kilograms, plus a small

42
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: personal item. The new rules coming to effect on the

43
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: second of February next year, replacing the current policy allowing

44
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: two bags with a combined weight of seven kilograms. Virgin

45
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: says the move is based on customer and staff feedback

46
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: that it's going to simplify the boarding process and deliver

47
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: a more consistent experience, basically by the sounds where people

48
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: just get sick of waiting for you to jam something

49
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: that's too big or too many bags into the overhead compartments.

50
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: Premium passengers and Elite Velocity members do not worry, though,

51
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: you will still be allowed two bags weighing a combined

52
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: fourteen kilograms. The new policy also applies apparently to short

53
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: haul international flights. Story number four nine Radio has posted

54
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: a strong recovery and the latest radio ratings out today,

55
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: just weeks after confirming that it was exploring a sale

56
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: of its talkback stations. Flagship Sydney station two GB recorded

57
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: gains across all key timeslots, led by Ben Fordham's Breakfast Show,

58
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: reclaiming the top spot from Kyle Sandalans and Jackie Oh

59
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: the Kiss FM duo slipped back to thirteen point six percent,

60
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: still a strong result. Novas Fitzi Whipper and Kate Ritchie

61
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: were third with eight point six percent. Morning host on

62
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: two GB Mark Levy surge back to number one, a

63
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: three point four point lift to fourteen point nine percent.

64
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: In Melbourne, the nine Powerhouse three aw strengthened its lead,

65
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: with breakfast hosts Ros Stevenson and Russell Holcroft rising to

66
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: a twenty point three percent share. It is a behemoth

67
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: of a show that one. In Brisbane, though, four BC's

68
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: Breakfast Show fell to a record lower three point six percent,

69
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: and Perth six PR suffered its weakest result in over

70
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: a decade, so very much a mix result for nine

71
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: radio stations. There some better news meanwhile for ABC Radio stations,

72
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,119
Speaker 1: recording gains in Sydney and Melbourne after some pretty lackluster

73
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: results over quite a long period of time. Finally, story

74
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: number five, US President Donald Trump has returned to Washington

75
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: after a lightning visit to Israel and Egypt, where he

76
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: signed a peace agreement alongside other world leaders. The role

77
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: of the President in negotiating the Gaza ceasefire deal has

78
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: been well, really widely praised, including by former US President

79
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton. All twenty Israeli hostages released by Hermas as

80
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: part of the deal have now been reunited with their families,

81
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: though many are suffering from health complications. After more than

82
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: two years in captivity, the Red Cross says it has

83
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: overseen the return of more than eighteen hundred Palestinian detainees

84
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: to Gaza and the West Bank. The bodies of four

85
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: Israeli hostages have been recovered for identification, while HERMAS still

86
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: holds the remains of twenty four more. That's it for

87
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,279
