The Australian stock market is expected to begin the trading week with a slight upward move. Prior to Monday's opening, ASX futures had advanced by 0.2%, suggesting the S&P/ASX 200 index is set to recoup the 0.7% decline it accumulated last week.
The benchmark index remains on track to achieve a third consecutive monthly gain. However, the conclusion of the Australian financial year on June 30th could prompt some investors to offload underperforming stocks.
Traders will also be focusing on the minutes from the Reserve Bank of Australia's latest interest rate meeting, scheduled for release on Tuesday.
Ahead of the market open, Karoon Energy Ltd (ASX: KAR) announced it will commence a new share buyback program next month. Additionally, Ramelius Resources Ltd (ASX: RMS) has agreed to sell its Edna May gold hub for $207 million.
