ASX 200 holds steady as oil jumps 9%
ASX futures pointed to just a minor dip for Australian shares Tuesday, with SPI 200 futures off 8 points, or 0.09%, at 08:32 AEST. That comes even as oil surged more than 9% and the Nasdaq slid 1.55%. The ASX 200’s big weighting in banks and energy is helping buffer local stocks compared to tech-heavy markets overseas.
