Today's trading on the ASX

Jump to new
The Australian share market is set to open higher following Wall Street’s gains, as hopes for a US rate cut lifted investor sentiment. Futures are pointing to an 18 point rise. However, concerns remain over Trump’s escalating tariff measures, which continue to cloud the global economic outlook.

Nvidia’s rebound and Tesla’s rally helped steady US markets, providing some support for Australian technology stocks. Meanwhile, the Bank of Canada cut its key interest rate by 25 basis points to 2.75%, highlighting concerns about economic growth.
 
Last time I looked NVDA was up over 6%. Crazy moves. One could interpret it as a pre crash move.

The brokers will be out this morning hawking their wares to the unwary. Not that it needs saying but beware of Greeks bearing gifts @Dona Ferentes

Markets had attempted a rebound earlier in the session following Wednesday’s Federal Reserve decision to hold interest rates steady while forecasting two rate cuts later this year. However, concerns over economic growth and rising inflation expectations dampened sentiment.

In Australia, attention is focused on the upcoming federal budget, to be delivered Tuesday night around 7:30pm by Treasurer Jim Chalmers.

Chalmers has indicated that the budget will provide “substantial” cost-of-living relief without fuelling inflation, including measures such as a $150 electricity rebate and a $25 cap on PBS prescription medicines starting January 1, 2026. However, he has also warned of reduced revenue and external risks, including escalating US trade tensions.

The SPI futures are pointing to a fall of 41 points this Monday.
 
An early slump but we pulled back into the positive

On the surface, it looked pretty good. Sure the ASX 200 was only 6-odd points to the better – but at least we weren’t down – and we closed well off our session lows and near our session highs. But most of the index points came from strong gains in just a few big blue chips like Wesfarmers (WES)...
