US stocks have rebounded, shaking off concerns over geopolitical tensions ahead of Nvidia’s much-anticipated earnings release. In contrast, European markets struggled, with stocks sinking as investors sought the safety of haven assets. Global bond yields also fell, reflecting the heightened demand for security. In the retail sector, Walmart surged to record highs, buoyed by optimism over strong holiday shopping trends, while Lowe’s reported a boost in sales thanks to hurricane recovery efforts. Meanwhile, iron ore prices hit a one-week high, driven by pre-holiday restocking activity. Looking ahead, Aussie shares are expected to dip after the ASX reached a record high on Tuesday.
