Morning Report 13 Aug 24: Wall Street on high alert as investors count down to key inflation figures

This week has started on a more positive note than what we saw last week on what Laura is calling “an impressive day”.  She is joined by Stevie to reflect on the performance that we saw last week and to discuss the gains of today.  Only two of the 11 sectors finished lower but these losses were counteracted by the positive performance of the remaining sectors.  They discuss the stocks that caught their attention today including CAR Group Limited, and JB Hi-Fi, and discuss the company news that did and could shift markets.

Market Close 12 Aug 24: The market starts to recoup following the worst week in 3 months

Wall Street ended last week with a slight gain after a volatile week, and Aussie shares are expected to recover some of last week's losses. The S&P 500 dipped slightly but was able to stabilize after a significant drop earlier in the week. The upcoming week will provide important economic data, including the US consumer price index, retail spending, and Australian jobs and wages data. Markets are closely monitoring for signs of inflation and potential interest rate cuts, as uncertainty and volatility persist.

Morning Report 12 Aug 24: Aussie shares to start the week firmly higher

The Australian stock market ended the week on a positive note, with a 1.3% rise on Friday, partially recovering from a rough start earlier in the week which saw our largest declines in 4 years. The recovery was bolstered by gains across all sectors, especially tech and materials, and positive influences from U.S. markets and Chinese inflation data. Notable stock movements included a sharp rise in Life 360 after strong earnings, and a decline in Neuren Pharmaceuticals following less-than-expected results. Despite Friday's rally, the market still posted its worst weekly decline in over three months, as global economic concerns, particularly from Japan and the U.S., weighed heavily throughout the week. Looking ahead, a busy week awaits with key economic updates and the continuation of the profit reporting season.
