Story summary

The Australian share market is forecasted to open slightly higher in early trading on Tuesday ahead of the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) interest rate decision scheduled for 2:30pm AEST. ASX 200 futures indicate a +0.1% increase, pointing towards an opening at 8,727 points. The Australian dollar is also slightly up by +0.03%, trading at 70.16 US cents.

US bonds saw significant gains as Wall Street closed lower on Monday, with the S&P 500 down -0.8%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (Dow) falling -0.7%, and the Nasdaq declining by -1.1%. Oil prices are trading above $106 per barrel, while iron ore prices have dipped slightly to $94.90 per tonne.

These market movements suggest cautious optimism among investors ahead of the RBA's announcement, which is expected to influence Australian financial markets significantly given current economic conditions and global trends.
