Morning Report 26 Aug 25: Wall Street ends lower as investors focus on Nvidia and the Fed

Wall Street ended lower as investors digested the hangover from the Jackson Hole symposium over the weekend. Stocks pulled back, halting their Fed-fuelled rally as bond yields moved higher, with bond investors taking a cautious view of the next fortnight. In company news, Keurig Dr Pepper tumbled after announcing an $18 billion acquisition, while sector-specific tariffs weighed on furniture makers. Meanwhile, the US dollar steadied following its slump on Powell’s dovish surprise, and oil prices climbed as Russia-Ukraine peace talks dragged on. Back home, Aussie shares are expected to slip from record highs, with earnings results from Coles and Fortescue in focus today.
