Morning Report 28 Aug 25: Wall Street hits new records ahead of Nvidia earnings

Wall Street closed at new record highs, with investors now digesting fresh earnings from Nvidia, though the stock slipped after its data centre revenue fell short of estimates. Elsewhere, Cracker Barrel surged on news of a logo revamp, while American Eagle tapped Travis Kelce in the wake of the Sweeney controversy. Meanwhile, bond yields fell as markets shrugged off Fed drama, and Albemarle gained on a stronger lithium price outlook. Energy stocks also led the advance as US crude inventories declined. Back home, the ASX is set for a flat start on Thursday ahead of results from Wesfarmers.
