Live: ASX to rise ahead of inflation figures, despite Wall Street's tech sell-off

Investors are banking on a positive start for the Australian share market despite a significant downturn in US tech stocks. The sell-off has led to steep losses on Wall Street, but optimism remains as the Australian Bureau of Statistics is set to release May's inflation data, which could see lower prices for petrol and diesel impacting the numbers. This situation underscores the resilience of the Australian market, showing it's not entirely dependent on the US tech sector's performance, highlighting the importance of domestic economic data in shaping market trends.
