Global Financial Headlines

A broadening rally in US stocks is offering an encouraging signal to investors concerned about concentration in technology shares. Markets are awaiting key jobs data and the Federal Reserve's expected rate cuts in September. Inflation in the Eurozone fell to its lowest level in 3 years in August, setting the stage for a further cut in the European Central Bank's interest rates next month, despite an Olympics-driven surge in the price of services. Global stocks edged higher in choppy trading to end last week, marking the fourth consecutive month of gains. This comes despite a bout of heavy selling in early August, buoyed by US economic data that has helped the dollar snap a weeks-long losing streak.
