Markets mixed as investors assess outlook after weaker US factory data

US equities finished mixed in trading yesterday, as investors weighed the weaker-than-expected ISM manufacturing data against inflation concerns following OPEC+’s plan to cut oil output. Australian equities extend gains for a seventh straight day, following the Reserve Bank of Australia’s decision to leave interest rates unchanged at 3.6%. Our Chief Economist David Kohl provides us with the latest on Eurozone inflation and credit growth and we have an update on digital assets from Manuel Villegas, Next Generation Research.
