In Europe, shares climbed to fresh record highs, supported by strength in mining stocks. Commodities were volatile, with oil prices rising after the US shot down an Iranian drone, while gold jumped its most since 2008 as buyers returned to the market. Back home, Australian shares are expected to fall following the RBA’s rate hike, while the Aussie dollar surged initially before easing back.
