ASX 200 expected to sink

According to the latest SPI futures, the ASX 200 is poised to open the day 82 points or 0.95% lower. In late trade in the United States, the Dow Jones is down 1.4%, the S&P 500 is 1.3% lower, and the Nasdaq has fallen 1.35%.

TechnologyOne results

TechnologyOne Ltd (ASX: TNE) shares will be on watch on Tuesday when the enterprise software provider releases its full year results. According to a note out of Bell Potter. its analysts are expecting the company to report revenue of $589.4 million, EBITDA of $256.8 million, and net profit after tax of $140.5 million. The latter will be up 19% on the prior corresponding period.

Oil prices ease

It could be a subdued session for ASX 200 energy shares Karoon Energy Ltd (ASX: KAR) and Santos Ltd (ASX: STO) after oil prices eased overnight. According to Bloomberg, the WTI crude oil price is down 0.3% to US$59.91 a barrel and the Brent crude oil price is down 0.25% to US$64.17 a barrel. Oil prices softened after Russian exports resumed following an attack on an export hub.

Buy Elders shares

Elders Ltd (ASX: ELD) shares could be in the buy zone according to analysts at Bell Potter. In response to its full year results release, the broker has retained its buy rating and $9.45 price target on the agribusiness company's shares. It said: "We see encouraging signs for FY26e, with livestock turnoff values up ~35% YOY through 1Q26TD, stable to rising crop protection active ingredient values and modestly higher fertiliser price indicators. A more normal selling pattern in FY26e, delivery on SYSMOD and backward integration initiatives, sector activity tailwinds and consolidation of Delta are expected to drive high double-digit EPS growth in FY26-27e."

Gold price falls

ASX 200 gold shares Evolution Mining Ltd (ASX: EVN) and Ramelius Resources Ltd (ASX: RMS) could have a tough session on Tuesday after the gold price tumbled overnight. According to CNBC, the gold futures price is down 1.4% to US$4,036.4 an ounce. Traders were selling gold after the US dollar strengthened.
