On Monday, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) fought hard to finish in positive territory. The benchmark index edged higher to 8,808.5 points.
Will the market be able to build on this on Tuesday? Here are five things to watch:
ASX 200 to fall
The Australian share market looks set for a subdued session on Tuesday following a poor night on Wall Street. According to the latest SPI futures, the ASX 200 is expected to open the day 8 points or 0.1% lower. In the United States, the Dow Jones dropped 0.25%, the S&P 500 fell 0.8%, and the Nasdaq tumbled 1.55%.
Magellan shares upgraded
Magellan Financial Group Ltd (ASX: MFG) shares have been upgraded by analysts at Morgans. According to the note, the broker has upgraded the fund manager’s shares to an accumulate rating with an $11.26 price target. It said: “With the recent pullback in the share price, we now have more upside (~13%) to our price target and move to an ACCUMULATE recommendation (from Hold).”
Oil prices jump
ASX 200 energy shares including Beach Energy Ltd (ASX: BPT) and Santos Ltd (ASX: STO) could have a strong session after oil prices jumped overnight. According to Bloomberg, the WTI crude oil price is up 9.2% to US$78.00 a barrel and the Brent crude oil price is up 9.5% to US$83.25 a barrel. Traders were bidding oil higher after US President Donald Trump reinstated a blockade on Iran.
Gold price sinks
It is likely to be a tough session for ASX 200 gold shares Newmont Corporation (ASX: NEM) and Northern Star Resources Ltd (ASX: NST) after the gold price sank overnight. According to CNBC, the gold futures price is down 2.55% to US$4,008.7 an ounce. Surging oil prices have increased interest rate hike expectations.
Buy Forrestania shares
The team at Bell Potter is bullish on Forrestania Resources Ltd (ASX: FRS) shares. This morning, the broker has retained its speculative buy rating with an improved price target of $1.25. Bell Potter was pleased with its acquisition of the Edna May Gold Hub for $300 million. It said: “This is a transformational transaction for FRS. The acquisition of a second permitted processing hub at Edna May, combined with the 3.2Mtpa Lake Johnston plant, establishes FRS as a dual-hub operator with targeted combined milling capacity of 6.1Mtpa by H1 CY27.”
