Good morning.

ASX: The ASX is expected to open lower on Tuesday morning, following a rollercoaster day for US markets, after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq last week also saw their largest fall since March 2020.

The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index closed down 36.3 points, or 0.51 per cent, to 7,139.5 points on Monday. The All Ordinaries index closed lower by 48.6 points, or 0.65 per cent, to 7,441.5 points.

Wall Street: US indexes finished higher on Monday local time after a dramatic sell-off. Investors had been monitoring the prospect of a Russian attack on Ukraine, while also keeping an eye on the Federal Reserve before stocks recovered in the afternoon.
