What happened
Australian shares rose 0.57% on Tuesday, with the S&P/ASX 200 index closing at 8,735.7. This occurred despite a survey showing consumer confidence had collapsed following the Reserve Bank of Australia's latest interest rate hike. The resources index climbed 0.84%, while the real estate sector was the best performer, gaining 1.11%.
