Cautious optimism prevails on Wall Street as trade talks between the US and China progress. In corporate news, Apple disappointed investors with its recent event, dragging its shares down, while Qualcomm announced a $2.4 billion deal to acquire chipmaker Alphawave. Topgolf Callaway saw its stock jump 11%, and Tesla shares edged higher, clawing back last week's losses. Meanwhile, it was a mixed session for commodities, though iron ore stood out with a decline amid renewed deflation concerns in China. Closer to home, Aussie shares are poised to open modestly lower on Tuesday following the long weekend and the Aussie dollar has held firm above 65 US cents, buoyed by ongoing weakness in the greenback.
