Summary · why it matters

The S&P/ASX 200 index of the Australian stock market closed sharply higher by 121.70 points, or 1.39%, at 8,894.00 points today, supported by a drop in oil prices and an easing of tensions in the Middle East after the United States and Iran temporarily halted attacks on each other. The All Ordinaries index closed at 9,063.80 points, up 122.30 points, or 1.37%. All sectors advanced, led by technology, commercial services, non-energy minerals, and processing industries. Capricorn Metals soared 14.3%, BHP jumped 2.2%, Goodman Group rose 3.3%, Aristocrat Leisure gained 2.1%, and Evolution Mining added 2%. The four major banks rose between 1.1% and 1.5%. However, the market trimmed gains as investors turned cautious ahead of the release of Australia's June and second-quarter 2026 inflation data this week, amid concerns over persistent inflationary pressures.
