Market Close 29 Aug 24: Final flurry of profit results
Manage episode 436769061 series 2978934
The ASX 200 closed slightly lower despite some gains earlier in the week. The market's performance was influenced by a tough start to August and modest improvements since, with concerns about a US recession and Japan's interest rate hike adding pressure. Nvidia's stellar earnings in the US were overshadowed by doubts about sustained growth, impacting global sentiment. Locally, Westfarmers' higher profits were dampened by a weaker trading outlook, while Qantas and Dusk saw modest gains. As earnings season winds down, eyes are on upcoming retail spending data and further profit results.
