  • Wall Street Hits Records as Meta and Microsoft Falter, ASX Set for Rally
    April 30, 2026, 7:12 PM EDT. Wall Street's major indexes surged, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq posting record highs despite declines in Meta (-8.7%) and Microsoft (-3.9%) amid AI spending concerns. Apple rose 10% after strong Q1 earnings, while Caterpillar and Eli Lilly gained nearly 10% each on industrial and earnings upgrades. Europe's Eurostoxx 600 climbed 1.1% following the ECB's rate hold. ASX futures indicate a 1.5% opening jump. Oil prices fell sharply from four-year highs due to hedge fund profit taking and a softer U.S. dollar, which also boosted the Australian dollar and gold nearly 2%. Analysts called the oil market moves volatile and difficult to gauge fundamentals. This dynamic underpins the cautious yet upbeat global market mood.
