US equities finished higher in Tuesday trading, adding to Monday's big rally which saw the S&P post its third-best start to an October since 1930. Treasuries were higher, though came off best levels. The upside momentum was helped by dovish surprise from the Reserve Bank of Australia, which raised rates by 25 basis points vs the 50 that had been expected. August JOLTS job openings posted one of the biggest drops on record, while the NY Times also discussed some signs that the labor market is loosening and wage growth is slowing.
