De-escalation in the Middle East eases recession fears in Australia

According to Guardian Economics, de-escalation of the war in the Middle East has lowered oil prices and reduced fears of an economic downturn for Australia.

Economists cited by the outlet said recession concerns are easing, though they warned households are still under pressure.
