Morning Report 15 Nov 24: US stocks lose steam as rally goes too far too fast

The Australian market ended a three-day losing streak with a slight lift, supported by steady inflation and employment data that matched expectations. While U.S. inflation data hinted at another rate cut next month, the Australian market remains cautious, expecting no cut until early next year. Sectors showed mixed performance: tech led gains, while materials, weighed down by a strong U.S. dollar and China's economic concerns, struggled, especially in mining stocks. Notably, Bitcoin soared to new highs, driven by increased U.S. interest in crypto policy, and several ASX stocks reached record levels. Looking ahead, markets are focused on upcoming economic releases from China, which could influence material stocks tomorrow.
