Sentiment was further pressured by speculation that Trump will nominate hawk Kevin Warsh as the next Fed Chair. Locally, Nine Entertainment jumped 4% after a massive $850 million pivot to acquire billboard giant QMS Media, while ResMed rose 4% on strong earnings. All eyes now turn to Tuesday’s RBA meeting, with a 70% chance of a rate hike looming.
