Asia-Pacific markets are set to open mixed on Tuesday, with investors expected to exercise caution even as the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s post-election rally continued to gain momentum to close at a record high.

Futures for Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 stood at 8,279, slightly higher than the index’s last close of 8,259.

Japan’s Nikkei 225 futures pointed to a stronger open for the market, with the futures contract in Chicago at 39,660 and its counterpart in Osaka at 39,630 compared to the previous close of 39,533.32

Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index futures were at 20,324, lower than the HSI’s last close of 20,426.93.

Traders in Asia-Pacific will be monitoring a swathe of economic data in the region, including a survey from the National Australia Bank on business conditions, Indonesia’s retail sales in September, and India’s consumer price index for October.

Oil cartel OPEC is also set to release its monthly oil market report later in the day.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged more than 300 points on Monday and closed at a record high as the benchmark’s postelection rally pressed forward.

The 30-stock Dow gained 304 points, or 0.69%, to 44,293.69. It’s rise brought the index above 44,000 for the first time. The S&P 500 added 0.1% to end the day at 6,001.35 and also earned a record close by surpassing 6,000 for the first time. However, the Nasdaq Composite hovered near the flatline, up 0.06% to 19,298.76.

Bitcoin surged above $87,000, boosted by hopes of deregulation as well. Crypto related stocks Coinbase and Mara Holdings rallied 20% and 30%, respectively.
