Yeah.

Turning to the conflict in the Middle East, the US military has launched strikes against multiple targets in Iran for the second straight day after President Donald Trump accused the country of dragging out talks on an interim peace deal.

Now, the attacks initially hurt the local share market.

It really did tumble on opening.

But then it rose into positive territory for the session before then falling back to finish down 0.2% to 8,633 points.

It was all over the place.

Shall we make a quick mention of the fear and greed survey, Sean?

I think so.

If you've got a couple of minutes this morning, why not jump on board?

Let us know what you think about fear and greed, about the podcast, about what you'd like to hear a bit more of, about what you perhaps like about the podcast.

If you just can't get enough of hearing Sean's mellifluous tones every morning.

Mellifluous.

Yeah, then tell us.

Let us know if you do so.

We are working with the research agency Fonto to do this.

You can go into the draw to win a $3,000 luxury escapes voucher.

So it could well be worth your time doing it.

I'll put a link in the show notes today.

And there's also a link in the Fear and Greed daily newsletter as well.

So it could not be any easier to do this survey, Sean, and to let us know.
