Morning Report 04 Nov 25: Tech stocks jump on Amazon-AI deal
Description
Wall Street’s main indexes rose overnight, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq both higher as Kenvue surged on buyout news. Amazon’s $38 billion deal with OpenAI lifted its shares and boosted Nvidia's as well. U.S. Treasuries were mixed amid uncertainty surrounding the government shutdown, while in Europe, equities edged higher as investors assessed a fresh batch of earnings. In commodities, oil prices held steady despite OPEC+ signalling a pause on output hikes. Gold was little changed ahead of key U.S. private payroll data, and iron ore slipped on weaker steel production in China. Back home, Aussie shares are expected to ease ahead of the RBA’s interest rate decision.
