AU Morning Wrap: ASX opens higher as Wall Street jumps; Tech One ups dividend
Wall Street Summary
US stocks booked strong gains as a positive trading update from JPMorgan Chase fuelled a rally in financials. Friday's dip-buying continued after President Joe Biden hinted the White House may wind back Trump-era tariffs on Chinese imports.
The $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ jumped 72 points or 1.86 per cent. The $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ advanced 618 points or 1.98 per cent. The $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ 181 points or 1.59 per cent.

AU Market Watch
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 is on track to rise at the open after financial stocks led U.S. indices higher. ASX futures are up by almost 0.3%, suggesting the benchmark index's uncertain start to the week could resolve to the upside. The ASX 200 closed flat on Monday, with losses among financial stocks offsetting strength among mining companies and energy producers.

Australian shares opened lower this morning. The $S&P/ASX 200 (.XJO.AU)$ lost 0.5 per cent to 7114 as of 10:19 am.
