ASX to rise as S&P and Nasdaq push for records again – The Australian Financial Review
Wall Street looked set to close on record highs for a second week in a row after confirming a bull market and the fastest recovery from a bear market trough in history.
LPL Economics points out that with fewer than 20 S&P 500 companies left to report results, S&P 500 earnings for the second quarter are tracking to a 32 per cent year-over-year decline, an impressive 13 percentage points above estimates when earnings season began.
