Australian shares nudged higher by 0.2% to 8,778 points in early Monday trade, buoyed by gains in U.S. futures following a U.S.-Iran agreement to pause hostilities ahead of peace talks.

Gains were led by commercial services, consumer services, and healthcare sectors, with Xero Ltd up 4.6% and REA Group rising 2.3%. Two of the four major banks also recorded modest increases.
