Wall Street surged as trade concerns eased, with the tech sector—particularly the Nasdaq—leading the gains. Nvidia made headlines by becoming the first company to reach a $4 trillion US valuation, while renewable energy firm AES also saw a sharp stock jump amid takeover interest. However, geopolitical tensions persist, with President Trump unveiling a fresh round of tariffs targeting countries from Iraq to the Philippines. Meanwhile, minutes from the latest Federal Reserve meeting revealed a divided committee on inflation and the future path of interest rates. Back home, Aussie shares are expected to edge higher on Thursday, supported by rising energy prices.
