The Aussie share market edged higher on Wednesday, with the ASX 200 gaining around a tenth of a percent despite mixed sector performance. Energy and defensive sectors retreated, while tech rebounded and materials lifted. Gold miners led gains after Evolution Mining forecast strong production amid record gold prices. Virgin Australia surged 8% after reaffirming its earnings outlook despite Middle East tensions. Investors await key Australian jobs data and US earnings for further direction.
