Wall Street surged to new record highs overnight, buoyed by strong earnings results and upbeat economic data. Better-than-expected retail sales figures lifted investor sentiment, while financial stocks led gains on the back of improved earnings. The world’s largest chipmaker, TSMC, also rose after posting stronger-than-forecast results, adding further momentum to the rally. Meanwhile, European markets recovered from the previous session’s losses, mirroring the positive tone in the U.S., and oil prices edged higher, clawing back ground lost earlier in the week. Back home, the ASX 200 is poised for another day of gains.
