The Australian share market finished almost flat on Monday as investors held their breath ahead of a crucial US interest rate decision later this week. Oil prices surged again on Middle East tensions, intensifying inflation concerns and raising the prospect of rate hikes both domestically and abroad. Key RBA speakers and central bank meetings dominate the agenda. Laura Besarati is a Market Analyst at CommSec.
