OVERNIGHT ROUND-UP:
Outlook for the day: Positive. Tepid relief rally constrained by overseas falls in mining heavyweights.
ASX futures: up 28 points or 0.4%
Key overnight themes:
- US stocks rebound on reports major lenders will band together to help stem a rolling banking crisis. Eleven banks reportedly willing to provide up to US$30 billion to floundering First Republic Bank to reduce the risk of a third bank failure. US regulators praise the announcement.
- European stocks rebound after Swiss central bank loans Credit Suisse US$50 billion to pay down debt.
- European Central Bank hikes by 50 bps, showing banking turmoil will not divert central banks from raising rates.
