The S&P/ASX 200 edged lower on Thursday, closing around 8,525 after two sessions of gains, as investor sentiment weakened amid a notable drop in U.S. stock futures following conflicting statements from Washington and Tehran over Middle East peace efforts. While the U.S. claimed talks are underway, Iran insisted it has no intention of negotiating. Locally, RBA Assistant Governor Christopher Kent warned that prolonged conflict could lift inflation and long-term expectations, stressing the need to prevent surging energy prices from unsettling inflation expectations. Miners slipped 0.6% on softer iron ore prices amid fears of production cuts in China’s Tangshan hub, while gold stocks fell 2.1%, led by Ramelius Resources (-3.3%). Financials were flat, with mixed moves among the big four banks. Energy stocks climbed 1.5% as oil prices advanced, amid solid gains from Woodside Energy (2.3%) and Yancoal Australia (1.1%).
