Australian Market to Edge Higher as Miners Stay in Focus

The Australian market is expected to edge higher on Tuesday after BHP Group and other miners powered the market to fresh highs in the previous session.

ASX futures are pointing to a 9-point rise at the open, with investors also preparing for corporate earnings releases and the Reserve Bank of Australia's July policy meeting minutes.

The resources sector led the advance on Monday, with BHP hitting an intraday record of A$67.72 amid higher commodity prices and strong sector earnings.
