ASX 200 set to open 0.75% lower as a software selloff snaps Wall Street's nine-day climb

Wall Street snapped a nine-day S&P 500 winning streak on Wednesday, the Dow off 1.21% as US yields firmed to 4.46% and software names sold the news after the bell. Broadcom and CrowdStrike both fell despite beating. SPI futures point the ASX 200 about 0.75% lower, handing back Wednesday's 0.70% GDP-driven gain, with the AUD at 0.7131 and metals a touch softer.
