17:34 ET - Australia's benchmark ASX 200 index looks set to rise
further above the psychologically key 5000 mark in early trading,
after US stocks joined gains globally following a rise in commodity
prices. IG forecasts the index will gain 0.3% when it opens, after
it rose 1% Monday to 5001.2. "Iron ore has become a flash point for
the changing risk story in the ASX," IG says, adding the strong
gain this year by the steelmaking commodity has helped buoy mining
shares. BHP Billiton (BHP.AU) is in the spotlight after slashing
its dividend and shifting its payout policy after posting a loss.
Also turning in earnings reports early in the day, are QBE
Insurance (QBE.AU) and Qantas Airways (QAN.AU), among a host of
other companies. (robb.stewart@wsj.com; @RobbMStewart)
