Stephen Letts from 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 closed the week on a negative note, with the S&P 500 slipping 0.4% and US bond yields edging higher after stronger than expected jobs figures shortened the odds of a rate hike from the Federal Reserve this month. The ASX appears to be hedging its bets today. When trading closed on Saturday morning, ASX 200 futures pointed to a flat opening. However, that was before US forces struck and disabled three Iranian oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. Data-wise it's a quiet day with only the ANZ-Indeed job ads numbers coming out. We'll be keeping a close eye on the Baltha Group creditors' meeting this morning. The company is in hock to around $3.4 billion and its future is hanging by a thread with administrators warning work across its vast portfolio of sites could stop as early as today. As always, the game's afoot, so let's get blogging.
