Morning Report 15 Aug 23: Tech stocks lead Wall Street higher

Wall Street slid to a three-week low as the Greenland dispute sparked a global sell-off, with the 'Sell America' trade erasing the S&P 500’s 2026 gains. Long-dated US bonds fell on fresh tariff threats from Donald Trump, while Japanese markets also sold off. Across Europe, shares ended lower after Trump flagged tariffs on French wine and champagne. In commodities, gold surged to a record above US$4,700 an ounce and back home, Aussie shares are expected to fall on Wednesday as renewed rate-hike jitters spook investors.

Morning Report 21 Jan 26: 'Sell America' trade wipes out S&P 500’s 2026 gains

The Aussie market slipped for a second day as global investors braced for a volatile US reopening following President Trump’s latest tariff threats regarding Greenland. Materials and Financials led the declines, with BHP weighed down by rising project costs despite record production, and ARB tumbling 12% on a profit downgrade. In contrast, Utilities found support through Origin Energy, which delayed its Eraring plant closure to bolster supply stability, while Hub24 and Telix Pharmaceuticals gained on positive corporate news. Precious metals remained a standout as gold and silver hit fresh record highs amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. Looking ahead, the return of US trade, Netflix earnings, and a wave of local quarterly reports from Northern Star and Evolution all shape the next 24 hours.
