The U.S. Federal Reserve's recent comments at the Jackson Hole symposium, where Jerome Powell hinted at potential interest rate cuts due to a shift in focus from inflation to rising unemployment, have fuelled market optimism today. Meanwhile, the Australian market has rebounded from a rough start to the month, with sectors like consumer staples and healthcare facing pressure. Key highlights include Pilbara Minerals' significant revenue drop due to falling lithium prices and the strong performance of uranium miners. The week ahead is packed with major earnings reports from companies like BHP, Coles, and Nvidia, as well as important inflation data from both the U.S. and Australia.
