Investing.com - The Australian Stock Exchange is projected to open lower as market players recalibrate their strategies in anticipation of enduring high interest rates until 2024.

ASX 200 Futures experienced a drop of 18 points, or 0.3% to 7086 over the weekend. This follows a turbulent session on Wall Street that culminated in the primary indexes ending the week on a low note.

The Australian dollar managed to bounce back, momentarily surpassing US64.50¢. Meanwhile, the US Dollar Index was at 105.6.

The yield on the United States 10-Year note saw a decrease of 6 basis points, settling at 4.43% in New York. This comes after it traded just 2 basis points short of its highest level since 2007 at 4.51 last week.

In the United States, stock shares vacillated between profits and losses on Friday due to the looming threat of a government shutdown, with no clear solution in sight. The S&P 500, which fell below its 100-day moving average for the first time since March on Thursday, failed to recover this level on Friday. This suggests that the downward momentum remains unbroken.

Looking ahead, there are no significant local data releases scheduled for today. Key reports to watch out for include August's Consumer Price Index (CPI) on Wednesday, which is expected to show an increase in inflation due to escalating petrol prices. August's retail sales data is due for release on Thursday.

Internationally, the German IFO business climate survey for September, the US Chicago Fed activity index for August, and the Dallas Fed index for September are all scheduled for release.

Meanwhile, China is to release industrial profits, as well as the Caixin manufacturing and services PMIs.

In corporate news, Atlas Arteria (ASX:ALX) and Auckland International Airport Ltd (ASX:AIA) are among the firms trading ex-dividend.
