Wall Street’s last full session was Friday’s gain; NZX and kiwi closes unconfirmed
The latest completed US session was Friday 9 October: the S&P 500 closed at 7,811.54, up 0.59%; the Nasdaq at 27,366.17, up 0.64%; the Dow at 51,654.95, up 0.83%; West Texas Intermediate at US$91.85, up 0.39%; and gold at US$4,216.3, up 1.43%. Monday’s US session was still trading when this edition went to press, so it is not cited. DailyDrop could not confirm Monday’s NZX 50 close or NZD/USD level from two sources.
Friday’s close is the last settled reference for US markets; Monday’s moves are not a close until the session ends.
