Wall Street slumped late in the session with the S&P 500 erasing a 2% gain as Nvidia led the sector lower. Nvidia turned negative, unwinding its post-earnings rally, while Palo Alto Networks announced plans to acquire Chronosphere. Walmart lifted its outlook, and U.S. data showed solid September job gains even as the unemployment rate ticked higher. In commodities, oil dipped on renewed hopes for a Ukraine–Russia peace plan, gold fell as strong U.S. jobs data dimmed the prospects of a December rate cut, and iron ore retreated on supply-glut concerns. Back home, Aussie shares are expected to drop amid a spike in volatility, while a risk-off tone weighs on the Aussie dollar.
