Australian shares warm up as inflation loses more heat

The local share market finished higher after a domestic inflation report came in significantly cooler than expected, likely squashing chances of another rate hike next week - or perhaps even this cycle.

The S&P/ASX200 finished up 20.1 points, or 0.29 per cent, to 7,035.3, while the All Ordinaries gained 22.7 points, or 0.31 per cent, to 7,245.8.
