Good morning
Good morning and welcome to another week on the ABC markets and finance blog.
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.
In short, it looks like a flat start to the week with little guidance coming from Wall Street which was closed for the July 4 holiday
However, the caution is understandable given Europe’s retreat on Friday ahead of the expected restart of US tariff increases this week when the 90-day pause expires.
As always, the game’s afoot, so let’s get blogging.
