Australian shares advance 1% after benign core inflation
July 31 (Reuters) -Australian shares advanced more than 1% on Wednesday, helped by a rebound in banking and mining stocks, after data showed core inflation surprised on the downside and greatly lessened the risk of another interest rate hike.

Data showed consumer price inflation accelerated in the June quarter, although core inflation surprised on the downside and lowered the risk of another rise in interest rates.
Mining stocks .AXMM, which have fallen 17% so far in 2024 owing to weak base metal prices and concerns about demand from top consumer China, jumped 1.5%, somewhat recovering from the prior session's losses.
Chinese iron ore futures DCIOcv1 rose 0.8%. IRONORE/
Rio Tinto RIO.AX rose 2.6% after the miner reported first-half earnings in line with market estimates as lower prices for its key commodity iron ore were offset by gains in its copper and aluminium businesses.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI rose 0.5% overnight, the S&P 500 .SPX lost 0.5% and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC lost 1.28%. S&P 500 E-minis futures EScv1 were up 0.07%.
