Wall Street drifted lower overnight as the recent recovery rally took a pause. The SP500 was down 0.53% and the Nasdaq 0.38%. That was at least slightly better than the futures trading suggested before the regular day session began. The big action was in bitcoin, which dropped 6.4% for its sharpest daily decline since March, according to The Wall Street Journal. BTC is generally considered a great barometer of risk sentiment, so the recent action suggests any share market rally may struggle t...

The ASX 200 gave up its strong start to close up 70 points to 8607 as the higher-than-expected CPI number took the top off things.

The Dow jumped 664 points on Tuesday as markets shook off early losses, with traders positioning for a potential Federal Reserve rate cut in December. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq also finished higher after a mid-session dip. Rate-cut expectations strengthened following reports that Kevin Hassett — viewed as dovish and aligned with Trump’s low-rate stance — is the leading candidate for the next Fed chair. The White House may announce the nominee before Christmas, adding to market speculation.&n...

The Nasdaq rallied as much as 2% after the open before reversing to finish the session -2%. That’s the highest daily trading range since April’s “Liberation Day”. Nvidia did an even bigger swing and finished down -3%. The VIX jumped to as high as 28 at one point. Why the tizz? No one can put a finger on a singular cause. The jobs number looks the obvious culprit. The US added more jobs than expected, and that makes rate cuts less likely. SPI futures down 142 points. The ASX set t...
