Live updates on the major ASX indices:

48m agoThu 4 Sep 2025 at 9:01pmGood morning!

Hello, I’m Daniel Ziffer from the ABC business team and I’ll be taking you through the morning on our business, finance and economics blog.

Overnight, Wall Street indices were leaping, the S&P 500 resting at a new high.

The blue-chip Dow Jones of 30 mega-companies like Boeing and Visa was +0.7% to 45,621 points.

The broader S&P 500 that covers 500 of the largest listed companies in the US +0.8% to 6,502 points, a new record close.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq was +1% to 21,707 points.

I keep tapping the screen to check the number, but our market is set to roar, with the ASX 200 futures index tipping a lift of +1.1% to 8,874 points.

There’s lots to get to, all of it news, analysis and information and none of it financial advice.

Let’s get started!
