- Rabobank's global strategist Michael Every has dubbed the latest clash between the US and Iran a "PeaceFire".
Mr Every says the US President Donald Trump has so far declared that a peace deal is close on dozens of occasions.
The Rabobank analyst says there's a real possibility of no binding deal until the US midterm elections in November.
The Prime Minister has acknowledged the difficulties for global markets after the latest US strikes on Iran.
The US described its attacks against Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz as proportional, after the downing of an American Apache helicopter by an Iranian drone.
Despite that Brent crude had nudged only slightly higher to around $US91 a barrel.

NAB's green program offers discounted finance in partnership with the Clean Energy Finance Corporation. It said electric vehicles (EVs) dominated the program, with EVs accounting for about half of all assets financed, as businesses reduced exposure to volatile fuel prices and supply disruptions.

- Description
- A drive-by shooting targeting a funeral is just another sign that Sydney's gangland scene has entered a new era of "disorganised crime", according to a senior police officer.
Sydney's organised crime figures used to rely on trusted individuals to carry out sophisticated and targeted attacks on rivals in the dead of night.
Some hits were motivated by unpaid debts and rip-offs, but the ultimate goal was to protect a syndicate's grip on one of the most lucrative drug markets in the world, Australia.
These days, a contract is put out for bidding on an open marketplace by a so-called "violence broker", operating on the orders of an offshore entity to which they have no allegiance.

- Description
- An undersea volcano in the Bismark Sea has caused pumice rock to cover much of the ocean in Manus Province.
Multiple coastal communities are concerned about access to food and fresh water, with the volcanic rock suffocating the sea around their islands.
Pumice is a lightweight and highly porous rock created when lava from volcanic eruptions cools rapidly.
Dense and stagnant coverage in coastal areas can block sunlight and kill coral, fish and other marine animals.
