  • Australian Shares Reach One-Week High as Miners and Energy Stocks Advance
    March 18, 2026, 3:22 AM EDT. Australian shares rose 0.3% on Wednesday, hitting their highest close in a week at 8,640.6 on the S&P/ASX 200 index. Gains in miners and energy stocks, including BHP and Rio Tinto, helped overcome cautious investor sentiment after the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) raised cash rates to 4.1%, its highest in 10 months. The RBA's warnings on inflation and geopolitical tensions, especially the Middle East conflict, kept the outlook uncertain. Markets see a 50-50 chance of another rate hike in May. Technology and real estate sectors also advanced, while New Zealand's main index fell 1%. Investors now await key inflation-sensitive data ahead of the RBA's next meeting.
