Broadcom AVGO.O climbed2%, while Marvell Technology MRVL.O jumped 9%after the chipmakerforecast quarterly results above estimates.

Money markets suggest traders mostly expect the Fed to cut rates by 25 basis points in September, with odds of a 50 basis point cut dimming further after Friday's data, according to CME Group's FedWatch Tool.
