The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) opened with gains on April 23, 2026, even as oil prices continued to rise amid stalled Iran war negotiations. This rise in oil prices is pressuring energy markets and contributing to volatility in European stocks, which opened lower. The stalled talks in the Iran conflict add uncertainty to global energy supplies and market stability.
