  • Australian Shares Rally Amid US-Iran Peace Deal Hopes, Energy Market Risks Persist
    June 11, 2026, 11:48 PM EDT. Australian shares surged, with the S&P/ASX200 up 1.96% to 8,802.1 by midday, driven by optimism over a potential US-Iran peace deal announced by President Trump. Despite Iranian authorities denying a final decision, the cancellation of fresh US military strikes eased oil prices, which fell to eight-week lows, negatively impacting the energy sector by 1.5%. Airlines Qantas and Virgin Australia rose over 3% on hopes of lower jet fuel costs and fewer airspace disruptions. Mining stocks gained, led by BHP and Rio Tinto, as copper prices bounced. Financials rose 1.7%, with ANZ up 2.3%. Real estate stocks recovered pre-conflict levels. The market remains cautious given ongoing risks in the Strait of Hormuz energy corridor.
