Stocks Grind Higher as Bonds and Oil Ease

A quiet overnight session but plenty to unpack. Wall Street edged up as tech bounced ahead of Nvidia's earnings, oil plunged 6% on Strait of Hormuz reopening hopes, and US bond yields posted their biggest drop in two months. Mark and Phil recap the session, dig into yesterday's ASX earnings — Coles' standout result, Monadelphous' 12% sell-off despite record numbers, and Woodside's pivot back to shareholder value — and look ahead to today's packed calendar: Australian CPI at 11:30, Woolworths and WiseTech earnings, and tonight's blockbuster Nvidia report and US core PCE print. Plus: BHP hits a record high, OpenAI claims its new chip beats Nvidia, and the Target blackface costume controversy.
