  • 5 Key Factors to Watch on ASX 200 on Wednesday
    June 2, 2026, 4:53 PM EDT. The S&P/ASX 200 Index closed slightly lower at 8,724.4 points on Tuesday but is expected to rise about 0.4% on Wednesday, buoyed by positive U.S. Wall Street futures. Energy shares like Beach Energy and Santos may gain as oil prices climb 1-1.5% amid US-Iran tensions. Broker Bell Potter maintained a speculative buy on 4DMedical with an increased target of AUD 6.00, citing promising clinical data for pulmonary embolism diagnosis and a potential $2.5bn addressable market. Gold prices also increased slightly, supporting miners like Newmont and Northern Star. Bell Potter held Graincorp shares at 'hold' with a reduced price target of AUD 5.20, noting low crop acreage and production concerns. These factors combined set the scene for a potentially positive day on the ASX.
