Australian shares rose 33 points or 0.4% to 9,039 on Monday morning deals, reversing weakness in the prior session amid solid gains in non-energy minerals, energy minerals, tech, and logistics. Sentiment improved as Asia-Pacific markets traded broadly higher amid signs that the Trump administration could seek to eliminate Iran’s ability to develop a nuclear weapon even without securing a formal agreement with Tehran. Locally, August services growth was revised higher amid improving confidence that came close to its level before the outbreak of war in the Middle East. However, gains were capped by caution ahead of key data due later this week in top trading partner China, notably August CPI and PPI, as well as trade performance. Meanwhile, Wall Street will be closed today for a holiday. Among early movers was mining giant BHP Group, which jumped 1.9%. Three of four big banks rose modestly, while Reece Ltd (2.3%), Bluescope Steel (2.0%), and Lynas Rare Earths (0.8%) also advanced.
