Wall St was little changed overnight as traders absorbed mixed US labour data and strengthened expectations for a Fed rate cut next week, while small caps hit new highs and nuclear energy stocks rallied. Industrials and communication services helped keep the S&P 500 near record levels, bond yields ticked higher, and European markets rose on improved risk appetite. Locally, the ASX is set to open higher after miners hit fresh record highs, supported by copper strength, with oil, gold and iron ore all firmer ahead of key US inflation data.
