Australia shares set to gain but rocket attack in Baghdad may weigh; NZ flat
Australian shares are set to open higher
on Thursday after U.S. President Donald Trump’s tempered
response to Iranian missile attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq
helped calm markets, although reports of fresh missile attacks
are likely to cap gains.
U.S. stocks closed higher after Trump said there were no
casualties from the attacks, adding that the United States
having military power and equipment did not mean it would have
to be used against Iran.
