Across Markets…

Shares gained on Thursday, tracking a tech rally on Wall Street and after the much-awaited approval of bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the US.

The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.5 per cent or 37.5 points to 7506, and the All Ordinaries also gained 0.5 per cent. The main benchmark closed higher only twice this year and is down 1.1 per cent since January 1.

Eight out of the index’s 11 sectors advanced, with gains in techs, consumer-related and banks offsetting softness in the mining sector.

Investors were awaiting key US consumer price data on Thursday (Friday AEDT) for clues on how fast and how far the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates.

US core consumer price index is forecast to rise 0.3 per cent in December, taking the pace of annual inflation to 3.8 per cent, down from 4 per cent.

Bitcoin rose 1.3 per cent to $US46,552, pulling closer to a 10-month peak of $US47,915.25 set on Wednesday. The US Securities and Exchange Commission approved on Thursday the much-awaited bitcoin ETF, allowing every day investors to gain exposure to the controversial cryptocurrency through traditional sharemarkets.

“Bitcoin is likely to hit and surpass its previous all-time high ($US69,000) before the end of the year, we could see a price north of $US100,000,” said Magnet Capital co-founder Egor Sidelska.
