Major U.S. stock indexes were dragged lower by declines in tech and other mega-cap shares. Shares in Apple (APPL), Amazon (AMZN) and Alphabet which are all due to post results later this week, all fell. Yet, despite the declines, the S&P 500 is on track to post its biggest January gain since 2019.

Shares of Johnson & Johnson fell after the healthcare giant's strategy to use bankruptcy to resolve the multibillion-dollar litigation over claims its talc products cause cancer was rejected by a federal appeals court.

Today the S&P/ASX200 is expected to ease at the open with retail sales and private sector credit due.
