Show notes

The Australian sharemarket rose 0.96 per cent, amid hopes of a peace deal between the US and Iran. As a result, oil prices have dropped sharply – though remain above US$100 a barrel – and precious metal and commodity prices have risen. The Australian dollar has also benefited, reaching a four-year high, as risk appetite increases.
