Welcome to MarketPulse, the Australian Stock Report's financial market blog. In the MarketPulse blog we aim to provide frequent updates on current events across the financial markets, including market wraps, articles in the news, opinions, reviews, financial education and finally our top tip of the week. The blog is published by the Australian Stock Report research and report editing team together with our very own "Passionate Trader", Carl Capolingua.
The Australian market looks set to open higher later this morning, following gains in metals prices overnight.
In the U.S. overnight, stocks switched between small gains and losses in a thinly-traded session.
Traders grappled with a drop in oil prices and a continued impasse between Greece and its creditors over loans, while mixed economic reports offered little guidance about the Federal Reserve's timetable for hiking rates.
The March SPI futures contract was up six points, at 5874.
In equities news, Medibank Private, Cabcharge, Transpacific Industries and Duet Group are expected to post half year results, while James Hardie releases third quarter results and Santos is slated to deliver full year results.
