Australia's share market has squared an early dip for an almost flat finish, after the Reserve Bank held the cash rate steady and flagged a data-dependent path ahead as it walks the tightrope between sticky inflation and idling economic growth.
The S&P/ASX200 edged 3.7 points higher on Tuesday, up 0.04 per cent, to 8,917.7, as the broader All Ordinaries rose 3.3 points, or 0.04 per cent, to 9,131.3.
