The Aussie share market tumbled more than 1% on Wednesday, marking its worst day in five weeks, as investors reacted to ongoing uncertainty over US-Iran peace talks. The financial sector led the decline, with major banks falling between 2-2.5%, while Cochlear shares plunged 40% after a significant profit downgrade. Treasury Wine Estates was a rare bright spot, jumping 16.5% on a major business restructure and positive trading update.
