Wall Street advanced on Wednesday as weak ADP jobs data bolstered rate-cut hopes, while US Treasuries gained on signs of labour-market softness. The technology sector ended broadly lower, with Microsoft slipping on reports of weaker demand for some AI tools, though Microchip bucked the trend with a strong jump after an upbeat earnings forecast. In commodities, oil prices climbed as Moscow peace talks failed to gain traction, while copper and silver hit fresh record highs. Back home, Aussie shares are set to edge higher on Thursday ahead of key household spending data.
