Then right at the tail end of the week, we get US jobs data, which is going to be very closely watched.

And we also have the Macquarie Conference, which is essentially a three-day event when over 100 Aussie and New Zealand-based companies host presentations.

They talk about macroeconomic themes and they also talk about what's been shaping their businesses.

So this is certainly something that could see share prices moving around on the days that the company presents, especially if the company sounds upbeat about their future or if they warn

And what pushed oil prices to their highest level since 2022?

Well, Stevie, an eighth straight session of declines.

That means it's been our longest losing streak since September 2018.

So you have to go back about seven and a half years to find a longer losing streak.

It's dragged on, of course, for another month, and the conflict has entered a ninth week.

Now, early in the month, as you said, the Aussie market was up closer to 6%.
