Despite starting strong, markets wilted towards the session's end, with the Dow Jones, the S&P 500, and the NASDAQ down. The ASX 200 is expected to follow suit with a 0.5% decline. Notable market movements include Walmart's historic day, Chubb's stock rise after Berkshire Hathaway's stake revelation, and John Deere's profit forecast trim affecting machinery sector stocks. Looking ahead, attention shifts to Chinese economic data, with indicators suggesting a pullout from a lull as the economy heads into the second quarter.
