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, substantially so. The blue-chip Dow Jones of 30 mega-companies like Boeing and Visa was +1.1% to 46,706 points. The broader S&P 500 that covers 500 of the largest listed companies in the US +1.1% to 6,735 points. The tech-heavy Nasdaq was +1.4% to 22,990 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 +-0.5% or +47 points to 9,089 points. There’s lots to get to, all of it news, analysis and information and none of it financial advice. Let’s get started!
