ASX 200 expected to rise

The Australian share market looks set to rise on Tuesday following a strong night of trade on Wall Street.

In late trade in the United States, the Dow Jones is up 0.9%, the S&P 500 is up 1%, and the NASDAQ is up 1.4%.

Oil prices rise

Energy shares Beach Energy Ltd (ASX: BPT) and Santos Ltd (ASX: STO) could have a decent day after oil prices pushed higher overnight. According to Bloomberg, the WTI crude oil price is up 0.5% to US$80.16 a barrel and the Brent crude oil price is up 0.25% to US$86.63 a barrel. Russia's plan to cut production has continued to give oil prices a boost.

CSL half-year result

The CSL Limited (ASX: CSL) share price will be one to watch on Tuesday when the biotherapeutics giant releases its eagerly anticipated half year results. According to CommSec, the market is expecting a net profit after tax of US$1.6 billion and an interim dividend of US$1.12 per share. Investors may also want to pay attention to commentary around plasma collections.

Gold price falls

It could be a tough day for gold miners Evolution Mining Ltd (ASX: EVN) and Regis Resources Limited (ASX: RRL) after the gold price fell overnight. According to CNBC, the spot gold price is down 0.5% to US$1,865.5 an ounce. Strengthening bond yields weighed on the safe haven asset.

Short squeeze coming for Breville shares?

The Breville Group Ltd (ASX: BRG) share price will be one to watch closely today. The appliance manufacturer is releasing its half year results and has been tipped as a company that could potentially surprise positively by Goldman Sachs. The broker commented: "We expect 1H23 results to offer a positive surprise vs. the Street. As a result, any short covering driven by such outperformance could push the stock higher." It expects first half sales growth of 6.2% and EBIT growth of 6.8%.
