The Aussie share market is eyeing a gain of 0.6% at the open, a welcome lift from the 3.4% fall Monday to Thursday this week.

U.S. economic growth rebounded in the third quarter up 33.1%, beating expectations and almost in a V shape recovery formation. That rebound in growth erased the 31.4% plunge in GDP in the second quarter.

What to watch today:

• AMP (ASX:AMP) confirmed it has received a takeover offer from Ares Management. The takeover offer amount was not disclosed, but you’d think AMP shares will rally on the hype.
• Northern Star Resources (ASX:NST), ResMed (ASX:RMD) and National Storage REIT (ASX:NSR) report quarterly results today.
• Carsales.Com (ASX:CAR), Austal (ASX:ASB), EML Payments (ASX:EML), GWA Group (ASX:GWA), Integral Diagnostics (ASX:IDX), Recce Pharmaceuticals (ASX:RCE) and Southern Cross Media Group (ASX:SXL) hold their AGMs today.
