  • Australia Shares Rise on Gulf Peace Deal, Reserve Bank Rate Pause Expected
    June 14, 2026, 9:55 PM EDT. Australian shares rose 1.4% to 8,928, their highest in over seven weeks, driven by a U.S.-Iran interim peace accord that eased inflation concerns and reduced expectations for further interest rate hikes. The Reserve Bank of Australia is widely expected to maintain current cash rates after three increases earlier this year. Gains were broad, led by non-energy minerals, industrial services, consumer stocks, and financials. Key gainers included BHP Group up 3.5%, Evolution Mining 8.3%, Sigma Healthcare 7.6%, and Northern Star Resources 5.7%. Four major banks advanced between 0.9% and 2%. Investors remain cautious ahead of China's May activity data, focusing on industrial output, retail sales, and unemployment from Australia's top trading partner.
