Wall Street has reason to celebrate as the US Federal Reserve paves the way for a September rate cut. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ had their best days since February 22 of this year. Meta Platforms surged as sales surpassed estimates due to advertising growth, and oil prices jumped amid Middle Eastern tensions. Closer to home, Aussie shares are expected to start the month building on record highs. Home prices have risen for the 18th straight month, and the Greenback comes to the Aussie dollar’s rescue.
