ASX to edge up, Wall St modestly higher on techs – The Australian Financial Review
Australian shares appear set to start the day somewhat muted, with techs providing a modest boost to the Nasdaq. $A slips.

LPL Financial’s Ryan Detrick said investors should not be too concerned about the market’s fluctuations. “History would say after an about 70 per cent rally, some choppy action for a few months would be perfectly normal.”
