Description

Wall Street advanced overnight, with the Dow Jones posting strong gains following the latest Federal Reserve decision. Technology stocks led the charge as long-term interest rates eased. European markets also climbed for a fourth consecutive session, with attention turning to Friday’s final vote on Germany’s spending plan. Meanwhile, energy stocks rose on the back of higher oil prices, while gold notched its 15th record high this year. Closer to home, Aussie shares are expected to open higher ahead of key jobs data.
