Description

US stocks experienced a minor dip on Monday, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average both falling by 0.3%. The Nasdaq composite saw a slight 0.1% drop. The Australian share market is also anticipated to retreat. Several company announcements impacted the market, including Berkshire Hathaways leadership shake-up causing a 2.2% drop, and Netflixs 4.3% decline following Paramounts acquisition bid. Confluent surged by 28.9% after IBMs acquisition deal, and Carvana jumped by 10.7% after being added to the S&P 500 index. Investors will closely watch the Federal Reserves interest rate announcement on Wednesday, expecting a potential cut to support the economy but also carrying inflation risks.
