The Australian share market fell sharply today, as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East rattled investors, with the ASX 200 dropping 1.3%. Energy stocks gained strongly on surging oil prices, while tech and real estate sectors led the broader market decline. Investors are also bracing for a potential RBA rate hike next week, adding to market uncertainty. Key company updates included Collins Foods' European expansion and Alcoa's broker upgrade, while Liontown fell despite strong revenue growth.
