higher for longer and retreating US share prices.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">That wiped out all of the optimism from last week and saw only energy stocks show a weak 0.16% rise with the defensive utilities and consumer stocks the “least worst” losers in the other market sectors.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Hotter than expected US economic data fed into higher bond yields in the US, which has now turned into a reliable proxy for falling share prices as investors continue to cash up and move to other safe haven assets.</p><h2 id=\"id_3379238508\" style=\"text-align:

style=\"text-align: start;\">Low unemployment pressures rate rise</h2><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Not helping matters was a fall in Australia’s jobless rate to 3.6% in September, showing that the jobs market remained tight, although analysts are not convinced the lower-than-expected number will lead to an official interest rate increase in November.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">That still remains a possibility though, with all eyes next week on the local inflation numbers which will reflect continuing high energy costs.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Elsewhere on the market the banks and industrials were all hit hard, although not as hard as the technology sector.</p><h2 id=\"id_4287730202\" style=\"text-align: start;\">Lithium sector down</h2><p style=\"text-align:

US giant Albemarle.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Other lithium miners followed the weaker lead, with shares in IGO (ASX: IGO) down 2.1%, Pilbara Minerals (ASX PLS) unchanged and Mineral Resources (ASX: MIN) down 2.4%.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Origin Energy (ASX: ORG) shares fell 0.3% after an independent expert valued shares at between $8.45 and $9.48 after Origin’s board

managed by Waratah Capital Advisors Ltd.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The project, spanning 72.7km2, is adjacent to several other lithium projects and has potential for lithium and gold

id=\"id_2830644724\" style=\"text-align: start;\">Sunstone Metals (ASX: STM)</h3><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Sunstone Metals revealed a remarkable 269 metre intersection at its Limon discovery within the Bramaderos project in southern Ecuador, significantly increasing the size of Limon.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">This outcome, stemming from drilling at different angles than prior efforts, hints at increased gold-silver mineralisation.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Sunstone’s managing director, Malcolm Norris, emphasised Limon’s growth and its similarities to other open-pit gold operations.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The Limon area, situated near other prospects of the Bramaderos project, showcases potential for a substantial gold-copper-silver development, with Norris suggesting a standalone operation or a starting pit for a larger Bramaderos development.</p><h3 id=\"id_2435994886\" style=\"text-align: start;\">Aurumin (ASX: AUN) and Beacon Minerals (ASX: BCN)</h3><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Aurumin has signed an agreement to sell its Mt Dimer gold tenements in Western Australia to Beacon Minerals.</p><p style=\"text-align:

will pay $3 million in cash, invest $500,000 in Aurumin shares, and provide a 2% net smelter royalty on gold production above 12,000oz at Mt Dimer.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">This deal aligns

expected to start in early November.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Meanwhile, both the Vali-1 well and nearby Odin gas field have paused production due to scheduled maintenance, but Odin’s production has met expectations, averaging 5.4 million standard cubic feet per day.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Vintage and its partners recently signed a two-year gas sales agreement,

equity.</p><h2 id=\"id_2515290084\" style=\"text-align: start;\">The week ahead</h2><p style=\"text-align: start;\">There is plenty of action in the coming week in Australia with the release of the inflation data on Wednesday the standout feature that will reflect a hefty rise in the price of fuel.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Inflation as measured by the CPI is expected to rise 0.9% in the September quarter and 5.1% for the year, with other price indicators during the week including trade prices and producer prices.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Reserve Bank Governor Michele Bullock is delivering a speech on Tuesday which will be analysed for any indications of a move to raise rates in November.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Interest rate decisions will be handed
