Australian shares eye stronger open tracking Wall St; NZ up
Australian shares were set for a strong
start to Thursday, tracking gains on Wall Street as markets
hoped for at least a partial trade deal between the United
States and China.
However, comments from Beijing about Washington’s
blacklisting of 28 Chinese companies tempered optimism, with
caution expected to set in ahead of senior-level trade talks
between the two later in the day.
The local share price index futures rose 0.6% or 41
points to 6,555.0, a 8.3
