<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Good morning everyone, and welcome to 19 April, 2024 \u2013\u00a0an important date in the history of absurdly horrendous science, as it was on this date in 1619 that the city of Amsterdam opened the doors to one of its most curious buildings: the Theatricum Anatoticum.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t need to be fluent in Latin to figure out what that translates to \u2013 but because it\u2019s probably early in the morning when you\u2019re reading this, it means Theatre of Anatomy, and it provided a space for fee-paying students and medical professionals to go and watch someone cut up a dead body, and talk about all the bits that came tumbling out.<\/p>\n The dissection itself was normally performed by a qualified man of science \u2013\u00a0or, in some instances, a very enthusiastic hobbyist \u2013 and it rapidly became much more popular than you could reasonably expect.<\/p>\n In later years, the requirement that an audience member be qualified, or studying towards some kind of medical degree went out the window, and before long it was seen by everyday residents of Amsterdam as a pretty decent afternoon excursion.<\/p>\n Kind of how most modern people would view a Sunday arvo trip to the cinema, only with less popcorn and a whole panoply of horrendous sights and odours to contend with \u2013 which, by quantity, would probably be around the same number as one might expect in a crowded movie theatre in modern times.<\/p>\n The fact that this is a notable event in Amsterdam\u2019s already-weird history is overshadowed somewhat by the fact that this one wasn\u2019t even the first theatre of it\u2019s kind in The Netherlands.<\/p>\n An older one exists in the Dutch city of Leiden, which is where the earliest Dutch hipsters lived, because they were into watching people cutting up dead bodies for fun, like, years before those tryhards in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n Luckily for you, today\u2019s lessons on the ASX are nowhere near as confronting, or gory \u2013 the likelihood of emerging from reading one of our great stories this morning spattered in someone else\u2019s blood is vanishingly slim.<\/p>\n But not zero\u2026 just so we\u2019re clear, and in case something happens. Not that it will, it\u2019s just that it almost definitely won\u2019t. Almost.<\/p>\n Josh has spoken to Lowell Resources Fund chief investment officer John Forwood and he reckons we\u2019re on the cusp of \u2018an everything rally\u2019<\/a>, plus Bevis has put pen to paper and typed up his illuminating report on what\u2019s happening in the Energy market<\/a>.<\/p>\n And I, gentle reader, have spent several gruelling minutes compiling some data, digits and highlights \u2013\u00a0all listed below \u2013 to help kickstart your morning better than two short blacks and a mega-bran muffin.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Gold: US$2,379.06 (+0.75%)<\/p>\n Silver: US$28.45 (+0.75%)<\/p>\n Nickel (3mth): US$18,482.00\/t (+3.48%)<\/p>\n Copper (3mth): US$9,573.50\/t (+2.55%)<\/p>\n Oil (WTI): US$81.50 (-1.39%)<\/p>\n Oil (Brent): US$86.62 (-0.76%)<\/p>\n Iron 62pc Fe: US$107.30\/t (+1.15%)<\/p>\n AUD\/USD: 0.6448 (+0.14%)<\/p>\n Bitcoin: US$60,991.30 (-0.45%)<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Some Swedish boffins did a thing!
