ASX eyes lower open as investors await RBA speeches

The Australian sharemarket is set to dip on Monday as investors prepare for fresh evidence that the economy is cooling down and a flurry of central bank speeches for clues on where interest rates are heading next.

Futures for the S&P/ASX 200 Index suggest a softer start to the week, pointing down 13 points, or 0.1 per cent, taking a breather from the biggest rally in nearly two months on Friday. The benchmark ended the month with a modest 0.7 per cent gain, but is still lagging international peers.
