Stephen Letts from the ABC business team limbering up for a blow-by-blow coverage of the day's events, where every post is hopefully a winner, but none should be construed as financial advice. Wall Street was a mixed bag overnight with the blue-chip Dow up 0.4% and the benchmark S&P 500 closing marginally lower. The Nasdaq closed 0.4% lower, but that was before Micron released its strong quarterly results. The chip maker jumped around 10% in post-session trading. The upshot is that at around 7:00am AEST, ASX 200 futures were up 0.2% having bounced around all night. Coming up later this morning, we have the May Labour Force data with the consensus being that employment should pick up after a surprising contraction in April, and unemployment may edge down a notch to 4.4% As always, the game's afoot, so let's get blogging.
