Australia's stock market is poised for a pullback, with the S&P/ASX 200 index declining 63.1 points, or 0.7 percent, to 9,125.4, as mining stocks experienced significant losses [1]. In contrast, U.S. equities surged to record highs, driven by softer-than-expected inflation data and declining oil prices that have eased concerns about interest rate increases [1].
U.S. wholesale prices rose 4.7 percent year-on-year, falling below June's 5.5 percent and market expectations [1]. The moderation in inflation prompted investors to reassess the probability of Federal Reserve rate increases in September, which dropped from approximately 50 percent two days prior to 35 percent [1]. The Standard & Poor's 500 index advanced 0.7 percent to achieve a new all-time high, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 69 points, or 0.1 percent, and the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.8 percent [1].
Supportive market conditions included a 2.1 percent decline in Brent crude oil to $87.07 per barrel and a retreat in the 10-year Treasury yield from 4.68 percent on Wednesday to 4.65 percent [1]. Real estate and selected technology stocks led gains in the U.S. market [1]. Meanwhile, QBE Insurance reported a 1 percent increase in net profit to $1.03 billion and raised its interim dividend to 33 cents per share [1]. According to BofA Securities economist Stephen Juneau, "the next round of data in September and progress ahead of the meeting will be crucial" [1].
