Australia shares are gearing up for a lower open today after a climb yesterday. The big driver is following oil and gas prices, sparked by President Trump's announcement of a two-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran. Both sides plan talks to wrap up their six-week clash. Talks kick off Friday in Pakistan, with hopes of reopening the vital strait of Hormuz for shipping. That key waterway is still shut down, keeping tensions high in the region. It's reacted fast, with Brent crude oil plunging as much as 17 percent before settling near $95 a barrel. Aussie ASX 200 futures dipped to 0.2 percent to 8,967 points around 7 a.m. Australian Eastern, daylight time. Now fresh worries are bubbling up that the ceasefire could crumble. Iran is vowing payback for recent Israeli strikes, casting doubt on any quick piece. For now, invest or stay on edge, watching every move in the Middle East that could swing

energy prices and rattle global markets worldwide. Local news, powered by AI, this is Sydney News Today.
