ASX morning brief, 22 June 2026: gold slides, oil firms, US futures fade a stale Wall Street lead

Wall Street's freshest cash read, Thursday's chip-led bounce, is now three sessions old, and US futures have turned lower into the AU open. Gold fell 1.83% to US$4,168 and Brent firmed above US$81, pointing to a heavy start for ASX gold miners and a steadier one for energy after Friday's 0.92% local slide to 8,828.7.
