Market Close 14 Aug 24: US data results in an encouraging Australian session

US markets were up overnight, and that performance seemed to help things locally.  Laura and Stevie unpack the US data which saw the Aussie market up at one point close to 1% and explain how the materials sector limited those gains from going any further.  As earnings season continues they discuss the company news that we saw today, look at the best and worst performers, and what data to expect overnight.
