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.

Australia Stock Market Today: ASX 200 Stalls as Rio Tinto Gain Runs Into Energy Selloff

Tuesday’s session saw Australian shares finish just shy of unchanged, the S&P/ASX 200 down 3.9 points at 8,949.40—barely a 0.04% slip—as investors hesitated ahead of the next phase in U.S.-Iran talks. Rio Tinto’s gains, helped by a stronger production update, couldn’t lift the wider market.
