Wall Street Summary
Earnings selloffs in Cisco Systems and Walmart pulled down the Dow. But the broader market narrowly overcame those drags as well as tumbling energy shares to keep the November rally going.
The $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ added 0.1%. The tech-oriented $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ eked out a smaller gain than that and is now up 9.8% this month. The $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ shed about 0.1%, or 46 points.
Despite the muted moves, cooling inflation has many investors convinced that the Federal Reserve is finished raising interest rates and that stocks are set for an extended climb.
AU Market Watch
Australian shares tilted slightly lower minutes after opening, tracking a subdued Wall Street, with energy stocks suffering the most after oil prices tumbled more than 4 per cent overnight.
The $S&P/ASX 200 (.XJO.AU)$ inched down 0.1 per cent of 4.4 points to 7054. The All Ordinaries were also 0.1 per cent lower.
Stocks to Watch
$AVZ Minerals Ltd (AVZ.AU)$: AVZ won a temporary suspension from the emergency arbitrator for state-owned Congo's Cominiere to proceed with the termination of its joint venture with the Australian lithium explorer. Its shares have been on halt.
