The Australian share market rose Tuesday following the RBA's fifth rate hike of the year, with markets responding positively to three board members voting to hold rates steady. Governor Michelle Bullock's statement removed hawkish language about further increases, easing investor concerns. Property trusts and consumer discretionary stocks led gains, while energy stocks fell sharply on slumping oil prices. Airlines benefited as fuel costs eased, with key data on employment, inflation and growth due before December's final rate decision.
