Street Talk
First Look

Good evening,

The final week of earnings season is upon us and it was all eyes on Bluescope on Monday, which revealed it won't make any profit from its Chinese division in the June half because of the coronavirus. 

The virus has reared its head all reporting season, hurting market sentiment across the board.

And Canadian giant Brookfield found out on Monday if the market shakeout had had an effect on its sale of the Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal.

Indicative bids were due at the start of this week and we provide an update on what's going on in the dual-track process. 

Elsewhere, there's a stake in a nickel mine that used to be owned by BHP up for grabs and we take a look at who the likely suitors are.

Finally, the newest Aussie digital bank - set up by an ex-operative of one of the world's largest hedge funds - is out fronting fund managers in a bid to raise fresh equity. 

And we reveal another bidder in the race for Downer EDI's contract mining business.  

Happy reading, 

Sarah, Anthony and Tim.
