The Australian share market experienced a significant dip, with real estate stocks notably plummeting due to a combination of ex-dividend trading and fears of rising interest rates. Inflation remains a pressing issue, with May's data showing a 4% increase, the highest in six months, leading to speculation about potential rate hikes in August or September. Despite overall market losses, tech stocks showed resilience, continuing their upward trend. Investors are also closely monitoring upcoming economic data and the US presidential debate for further market implications.
