Morning Report 02 Sept 24: Dow Jones hits second consecutive record high

Wall Street has ended August on a high note, with record highs for the Dow Jones and S&P 500. The U.S market posted its fourth consecutive month of gains as the stock rally broadened ahead of upcoming job data. Earnings growth has been particularly strong in the technology, financial, and healthcare sectors. However, U.S oil prices plunged by 3% as OPEC increased output. This decline, along with falling commodity prices like oil and iron ore, has put pressure on the Aussie market and weakened the Aussie dollar.
