Wall St kicks of 2022 on a positive start with the Dow hitting a fresh record high. Tech shares outperformed. Apple touches US$3 trillion market cap intraday while shares in Tesla accelerates on 2021 delivery record. SPI futures point to a fall as of last day of 2021, but gives warm lead to ASX today. Gold players fell, energy giants soared, as tech titans gallop.

On Friday, the ASX 200 closed 0.9 per cent lower snapping its six day winning streak at 7,445 and for the week, the local bourse rose 0.3 per cent. From a yearly perspective, the XJO rose 13 per cent, its best year since the 23 per cent jump in 2019, and the fourth-best performance over the decade.

Across the Atlantic, European markets closed higher with Paris and Germany's stock exchange were open. Investors continued to digest Spanish data showing inflation rising to nearly three decade highs.

Asian markets closed lower as the Hong Kong exchange was opened. Chinese property developer shares dived following local reports that Evergrande Group has been ordered to demolish apartment blocks in Hainan province.

Today we have two sets of economic data points, starting with a pulse check on the manufacturing sector. IHS Markit is set to issue the results of the December survey of purchasing managers. In November, the index rose from 58.2 to 59.2, the third fastest output on record. Focus will be on the figures to see if pricing pressures and skilled labour shortages will weigh.
