Overnight round-up and day ahead: "ASX Today: Wall Street win run points to positive start"

Breakfast

Today is "Ra o te Ui Ariki" in the Cook Islands: the Day of the Council of High Chiefs. It's a public holiday to celebrate a council that includes chiefs from all of the main islands and acts a little like a House of Lords in the domestic political process. While the chiefs no longer excercise the kind of control they once did, they are still held in high regard. Good-looking spread.
