Top 10 at 11: ASX bounces out the gate as resources stocks surge
Morning, and welcome to Stockhead's Top 10 (at 11… ish), highlighting the movers and shakers on the ASX in early-doors trading.
With the market opening at 10am sharp eastern time, the data is taken at 10.15am, once trading kicks off in earnest.
In brief, this is what the market has been up to this morning.
ASX 200 Resources soars on open
After a week of wait-and-see gloom surrounding the Iran-Israel conflict and a tentative ceasefire, the ASX has finally found its feet.
The ASX 200 has jumped 0.61% out of the gate as of about 10:30 am, driven by strong momentum in the ASX 200 Resource index (+2.39%) and the wider materials sector (+2.6%).
There's also momentum building in info tech (+0.94%), telecommunications (+0.9%) and energy (+0.71%).
Gold and oil both tipped up marginally overnight, adding 0.1%. Brent has since risen again slightly, adding another $0.10 or so to US$67.86 a barrel.
Both US and European markets moved higher overnight, perhaps indicating that the international economy has found an equilibrium again… at least for now.
To no one's surprise, it's resource stocks dominating our Top 10 movers this morning…

ASX 200 soars after US President Donald Trump indicates he will not extend the deadline on his 'Liberation Day' tariffs
The ASX 200 has jumped on Monday after US President Donald Trump indicated he would not need to extend the deadline on his 'Liberation Day' tariffs. The index has jumped 0.3 per cent in the first 40 minutes of trading with building materials company James Hardie jumping 9.3 per cent, insurance provider nib Group rising 4.6 per cent and fintech company Block adding 3.8 per cent. It comes as the index has surged almost 10 per cent over the past 12 months, driven in part by an almost 48 per cent rise in the market's largest company Commonwealth Bank of Australia. Trump delivered some certainty over his trade policies on Sunday when he told Fox News he did not think his administration would need to extend the July 9 deadline for his sweeping tariffs. 'I don't think I'll need to," he said in response to a question over extending the deadline. This follows White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt last week saying the deadline for Trump's sweeping tariffs may be extended. She noted Trump could "simply provide ... countries with (a) deal if they refuse to make us one by the deadline' and set "a reciprocal tariff rate that he believes is advantageous for the United States'. Pressed on this, Ms Leavitt said: 'Perhaps it could be extended but that's a decision for the president.' On Friday, the S&P 500 added 0.5 per cent, the Dow Jones jumped one per cent and the Nasdaq was up half a per cent. London's FTSE 250 jumped 1.1 per cent, Germany's DAX soared 1.6 per cent and the STOXX Europe 600 added 1.1 per cent on Friday. New Zealand's NZX 50 Index has fallen 0.1 per cent since trading began on Monday, while Japan's Nikkei 225 is up 1.4 per cent.

Private Health insurer Bupa agrees to repay $35 million over incorrectly rejected claims
One of Australia's largest private health insurers has agreed to pay back tens of millions of dollars to thousands of members who had hospital claims incorrectly rejected. Bupa has admitted to engaging in misleading or deceptive conduct and making false or misleading representations by advising members they were not entitled to private health insurance benefits when they were. Bupa reached an agreement with the ACCC on a proposed penalty of $35 million for incorrectly assessing thousands of mixed coverage and uncategorised item claims and related eligibility checks over a five-year period. The company also admitted to engaging in unconscionable conduct relating to its assessment of 388 mixed coverage claims, which included treatment that was covered under a member's private health insurance policy as well as treatment that was not covered under their policy. In a statement, Bupa APAC CEO Nick Stone said the issue should "never have happened" and the company was "deeply sorry for failing to get things right for our customers". Bupa, is Australia's second largest private health insurer and has more than four million members. It has already started compensating affected members, medical providers and hospitals and has so far paid $14.3 million with more than 4,100 affected claims. ACCC Chair Gina Cass-Gottlieb said the consumer watchdog had accepted Bupa's undertaking to continue compensating affected parties. "Bupa's conduct ... caused harm to consumers some of whom delayed, cancelled or went without treatment for which they were, at least partially, covered under their health insurance policies," Ms Cass-Gottlieb said. Bupa said the errors occurred as a result of inaccurate or unclear instructions, training or guidance which meant Bupa didn't always make correct assessments of claims and eligibility checks or act quickly enough to fix issues. Any customers who believe they may have had a historical claim or eligibility check incorrectly assessed can can visit or call Bupa on 134 135. Australian private health insurance industry's peak representative body, Private Healthcare Australia has been contacted for comment.

NT's Litchfield National Park to include Robin Falls as part of 30,000-hectare expansion
The Northern Territory's Litchfield National Park is set to grow by 20 per cent, in the largest addition to the popular tourist attraction in more than two decades. The NT government has purchased Silkwood, a 30,000-hectare parcel of land that borders Litchfield's south-east boundary, which it says will give Territorians and visitors more places to camp, four-wheel drive, swim and hunt. The $7.5 million property is located 120 kilometres from Darwin near the regional town of Adelaide River, and includes the popular Robin Falls. The government says the acquisition — the national park's biggest expansion in 25 years — will also make untouched waterfalls, gorges, hot springs and 4WD tracks available to visitors. NT Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro said the multi-million-dollar deal would conserve "what makes the territory special". Lands, Planning and Environment Minister Josh Burgoyne said the purchase would secure long-term environmental protection for the pristine region. "30,000 hectares of escarpments, woodlands and wetlands are being returned to public hands, protecting territory ecosystems and wildlife while opening up a range of incredible new recreational opportunities," he said. "This isn't just a map change — this is a transformational and visionary investment in our lifestyle, livability, and landscape." Parks and Wildlife Minister Marie-Clare Boothby said the government would work to identify opportunities within the new area, including "a new dedicated hunting reserve". "Silkwood has been on the market since last year, and there were real concerns that a private sale could limit future access." The announcement follows a dip in NT tourism post-COVID, but recent data from the Australian government's trade and investment commission suggests the territory might be bouncing back. While most jurisdictions recorded a decrease in domestic travellers during the March 2025 quarter, the NT saw a 34 per cent increase — up 45,000 trips compared to the March 2024 quarter. According to the NT government, more than 250,000 people visit Litchfield National Park each year to see much-loved sites including Wangi Falls, Buley Rockhole and Florence Falls. The national park's southern expansion is expected to boost those numbers further, which the government said would create "new opportunities for local tourism, services, and economic growth" in nearby Adelaide River. Publican Tim Carter, who owns the Adelaide River Inn Tourist Park, described the expansion as "great for the Territorians that love to get out there every weekend". "There's worries of people purchasing [regions like Silkwood] and closing them up, so for this to be open to all the punters, will be great." He said the announcement came during a "huge" tourism season that has kept his business "flat-out" during the dry.
