AU Morning Wrap: ASX drops sharply as materials plunge
Wall Street Summary
The Dow Jones Industrial Average suffered its worst loss since 2020 on Friday before mounting a partial recovery overnight as fears of a global slowdown pulled down interest rates.

The $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ closed 238 points or 0.7 per cent ahead this morning after being down almost 500 points intraday. The $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ bounced 24 points or 0.57 per cent. The $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ rose 166 points or 1.29 per cent.

AU Market Watch
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 is on track to open lower when the local share market opens from another holiday weekend. ASX futures are down by 0.3% despite a positive lead from U.S. stocks, which regained only some of the ground they lost in a steep selloff at the end of last week.

Australia shares opened lower this morning. The $S&P/ASX 200 (.XJO.AU)$ lost 2.34 per cent to 7298 as of 10:18 am.
