The Australian share market fell for its fourth week in a row as surging oil prices and the high likelihood of an interest rate hike weighed on sentiment. Brent crude futures jumped as high as $US108 per barrel on reports Donald Trump may announce a US diesel export ban. Meanwhile, the 30-year Treasury yield surged to around 5.2 per cent, driving the US government's long-term borrowing costs to their highest level since 2004. Bond investors are demanding higher returns from the US government for the risk of higher-for-longer inflation as the Middle East war drags on.
