Apple gives Wall St a boost: ASX poised to open higher

 

Following positive leads from US markets, the Australian share market looks set to open higher this morning. The NASDAQ had a huge boost yesterday on Wall Street, hitting the highest level since July. This was mainly due to Apple showing new pricing and updates on their products. Apple shares went up over $220. Crude oil plunged after President Donald Trump indicated that sanctions on Iran could be eased. Meanwhile safe haven gold gained.

Markets

Wall Street closed higher yesterday: The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.9 per cent to close at 27,137, the S&P 500 closed 0.7 per cent higher at 3001 and the NASDAQ rose 1.1 per cent to 8170.

European markets closed higher: London’s FTSE added almost 1 per cent, Paris improved 0.4 per cent and Frankfurt gained 0.7 per cent.

Asian markets closed mixed: Tokyo’s Nikkei added 1 per cent, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng gained 1.8 per cent and China’s Shanghai Composite lost 0.4 per cent.

Taking all of this into equation, the SPI futures are pointing to a 0.39 per cent gain.

Yesterday, the Australian share market closed 24 points or 0.4 per cent higher at 6638.
