Australian shares fall 0.7% as Trump says US-Iran truce is “over” and Brent tops $US82
AI Market Summary
Trump's declaration that the US-Iran truce is "over" has reignited Persian Gulf geopolitical risk premia, lifting Brent above $82 and pressuring risk assets. Australian equities fell as higher energy costs raise imported inflation concerns and potentially complicate central-bank policy paths. Energy equities outperformed, while materials weakened alongside a sharp gold drop, indicating cross-asset re-pricing driven by conflict risk rather than demand.

Australian equities slid after Donald Trump said the US-Iran ceasefire was “over,” stoking a renewed flare-up in the Persian Gulf and lifting Brent crude above $82 a barrel from earlier lows. Energy stocks including Woodside, Santos and Ampol rose as oil prices rebounded. Gold unexpectedly fell to $4,075 an ounce and the basic materials sector dropped 1.9%. The rise in oil was attributed to a revived geopolitical risk premium rather than inflation or demand shifts.
