Wall Street Summary
U.S. stocks and government bond yields both rose amid analyst expectations that profits from big companies will keep growing even as costs rise.
The $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ advanced 1.6%, the $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ added 1.5%, and the tech-heavy $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ gained 2.2% to 13619.66.
AU Market Watch
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 is on track to open higher, potentially building a platform for a third straight gain after U.S. stocks enjoyed their best day in a month. ASX futures are up by 0.6%, suggesting the benchmark index will add to Tuesday's 0.6% rise, which was powered by shares of large-cap companies.
Australia shares opened higher this morning. The $S&P/ASX 200 (.XJO.AU)$ gained 0.63 per cent to 7613 as of 10:16 am.
