Overnight Summary

 

Market Quotes by TradingView

 

Each Market in Focus

 

Australian Market

Australian shares limped to a fairly flat finish, held back by the financial sector. Bouncing off lows, the S&P/ASX 200 settled 0.1% lower at 6847.3. That follows a 1.6% jump Monday that took the index back within touch of the all-time high logged in late November.  

While resources and consumer stocks managed modest gains, Westpac weighed heavily with a drop of 0.9% after the prudential regulator launched an investigation of the bank and imposed a greater capital burden for heightened operating risk.

Most gold miners also slipped as gold prices paused, and Lynas fell 6.2% after failing to secure Malaysian approval to increase lanthanide concentrate processing. Many utilities, telecom and technology stocks also faltered.  

 

US Market

The S&P 500 edged higher intraday, on pace to close a fifth consecutive session higher, as investors continued to support a year-end stock market rally.  

Investors bought shares of banks, retailers and communication companies, including Netflix , pushing the S&P 500 up 0.1% toward another record close.  

The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 59 points, or 0.2%, to 28294, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.1%.  

 
Commodities

Gold held its ground above the $1,480-an-ounce mark, consolidating in the wake of last week’s “phase-one” U.S.-China trade deal.  

Gold for February delivery on Comex tacked on a dime, or 0.01%, to settle at $1,480.60 an ounce. March silver shed 4.1 cents, or 0.2%, to $17.072 an ounce, while March copper settled at $2.8135 a pound, up less than a penny, or 0.07%.

The British pound fell against the U.S. dollar intraday on mounting concern that the U.K. may break its ties with the European Union at the end of next year without a fresh trading agreement in place, clouding the nation’s economic prospects.
