Morning Report 05 Nov 24: Dow falls more than 200 points as stocks slip ahead of presidential election

The ASX 200 has bounced back, breaking a three-day losing streak amid a strong start to November, fuelled by positive U.S. market performance and widespread sector gains. Most sectors surged, though energy and materials lagged due to global economic strains, notably from China. Noteworthy updates included Westpac’s financial results, with a slight dip in annual profit but a promising dividend increase, and Telix Pharmaceuticals’ 3.5% rise following policy changes that benefit its cancer diagnostics. Meanwhile, Mineral Resources and The Star Entertainment struggled amid management issues and financial challenges. This critical week also brings interest rate decisions from the RBA and global central banks, plus U.S. elections, setting the stage for potentially heightened volatility.
