Dow Jones06-15

2339 GMT - Australian equities look set to rise at the start of the week after Iran and the U.S. agreed on a peace deal to end nearly four months of fighting. With U.S. stock futures having jumped and oil prices sinking, Australian stock futures are up by 0.4% ahead of Monday's open. The S&P/ASX 200 benchmark index is coming off a 2.0% rise, recording its largest one-day gain in more than a month amid optimism the Iran conflict could soon end. Ahead of the open, Sigma Healthcare said it had withdrawn its interest in acquiring U.K. retailer Boots. Aussie Broadband said it expected annual earnings at the midpoint of guidance.
