It commented: "Guidance is 35%+ growth, a higher number will signal strong conversion of on premise customers to SaaS; 2. On premise – initial licenses: Guidance is $20m, a lower number will increase the quality of the result; and 3. Cash flow: Guidance is cash flow generation will equate to c.80% of NPAT and we forecast 82%, an even higher number will increase the quality of the result."
Oil prices rises
Energy producers such as Beach Energy Ltd (ASX: BPT) and Woodside Petroleum Limited (ASX: WPL) will be on watch after oil prices rebounded. According to Bloomberg, the WTI crude oil price is up 0.9% to US$76.62 a barrel and the Brent crude oil price has risen 0.9% to US$79.62 a barrel. Traders were buying oil despite concerns of potential releases from Indian and Japanese oil reserves.

Gold miners Evolution Mining Ltd (ASX: EVN) and Northern Star Resources Ltd (ASX: NST) could have a difficult day after the gold price sank. According to CNBC, the spot gold price is down 2.6% to US$1,803.4 an ounce. The gold price fell after US President Joe Biden nominated Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for a second term. Traders had been hoping for a more dovish appointment.
