what happened
Australian equities appear positioned to open higher on Tuesday, tracking gains in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Newsmetry API reported that ASX futures were up 0.1%, pointing to a possible extension of the S&P/ASX 200’s 1.4% advance over the previous two sessions.
The benchmark has recovered almost 2% since Oct. 1, when it recorded its lowest close since early June. Before trading began, telecommunications provider Telstra left its annual guidance unchanged.
In the United States, the DJIA gained 0.4% as continued attacks in Ukraine and the Middle East lifted energy shares and oil prices. The S&P 500 slipped less than 0.1%, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.4%.
why it matters
The futures move signals that Australia’s equity recovery may continue, while the contrasting U.S. index performance and stronger energy shares highlight the market impact of geopolitical tensions and higher oil prices.
