Hello, I'm Daniel Ziffer from the ABC business team and I'll be taking you through the morning on our business, finance and economics blog. Overnight, Wall Street indices were higher. The blue-chip Dow Jones of 30 mega-companies like Boeing and Visa was +0.6% to 47,374 points. The broader S&P 500 that covers 500 of the largest listed companies in theUS was +0.8% to 6,824 points. The tech-heavy Nasdaq was +1.1% to 23,617 points. These numbers are live and trading is continuing. We’ll update you when there’s a firm closing price. Our market is set to lift, with the ASX 200 futures index tipping a rise of +0.7% or 88 points to 8,871 points. Lots to get to, all of it news, analysis and information and none of it financial advice. Let’s get started!
