AM 08 May 26: Stocks fall on Iran peace deal doubts

The local market surged for a second straight day, lifting 1% to a two-week high. Sentiment was bolstered by a record lead from Wall Street and fresh optimism for a US-Iran peace deal. With President Trump claiming a truce is "very possible," oil prices tumbled 7% back toward 100 USD, providing broad market relief. Mining stocks led the charge, jumping 3.7%, while Orica rocketed 8% on a narrowed loss and dividend hike. Conversely, Tabcorp cratered 23% following regulatory concerns, and Super Retail Group fell 3.5% after warning that "War Fatigue" and high fuel costs have dented discretionary spending.
