Morning Report 22 Aug 25: US stock slide deepens before Powell speech

US stocks slumped overnight with the S&P 500 posting its fifth straight losing day and as investors count down the hours to Jackson Hole. US Treasuries also weakened as traders trimmed their rate-cut bets. Elsewhere, Walmart tumbled on a rare profit miss, while oil gained 1% amid stalled Russia-Ukraine peace talks. Back home, Aussie shares are set to ease from record highs, with results due from Inghams, Zip, and Guzman y Gomez today.
