Morning Report 14 May 24: ASX to slip, Wall Street mostly lower as CPI awaited

It's the first day of the new month, and Wall Street is on track to post its first monthly decline since April. AI investments by major tech companies like Meta and Microsoft have raised investor concerns, while chip growth faces bottlenecks. Meanwhile the U.S. inflation gauge and consumer spending show strength in a solid economy with oil rising on increased fuel demand and gold easing from record highs. Closer to home, Sydney housing prices have fallen for the first time in two years, and the Aussie market is expected to start the month on the back foot.

Morning Report 01 Nov 24: Stocks end October on a sour note as tech tumbles

The Aussie market ended October on a down note, closing 1.3% lower, making it the second-worst month of the year. While financials, tech, and consumer discretionary sectors saw modest gains, other sectors struggled, particularly staples and utilities. In the U.S., stronger-than-expected economic data, like job growth and home sales, has tempered rate cut expectations, with an important jobs update expected soon. Corporate earnings, especially from Alphabet, Microsoft, and Meta, also influenced market sentiment. In Australia, standout performers included Mineral Resources, following a significant deal, and JB Hi-Fi, with impressive growth in New Zealand. Conversely, Woolworths, Coles, and Star Entertainment faced setbacks. Upcoming earnings from major U.S. tech players, alongside inflation and property data in Australia, are key watchpoints for November.
