Rise and Shine: Everything you need to know before the ASX opens

Good morning everyone, and welcome to 4 July June, 2024 – an important day in the history of the world for a few wild reasons.

On this day in 993, Saint Ulrich of Augsburg was canonised, leaving bits of him scattered over a very wide area.

On this day in 1672, the states of Holland caused confusion by calling an end to the “Eternal Edicts”.

And on this day in 1776, the Liberty Bell rang to usher in the Second Continental Congress, and the United States declares independence from Britain… and we’re still paying for that to this day.

Luckily for you, you don’t need fight your way out from the yoke of colonial oppression in order to get your hands on the info you need today.

Nadine McGrath has written a great yarn about the ASX stocks that are driving decarbonisation, and – as always – I’ve thrown together lots of fiddly little things below, so you don’t need to go ferreting all over the internet for your ASX info this morning.
