The Australian sharemarket enjoyed a rate-fuelled boost on Tuesday, closing at a near seven-year high and stretching its winning streak to nine days, following the Reserve Bank of Australia's decision to ease monetary policy. The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 surged 1.5 per cent, or 82.1 points, to 5707.4. It is the first time that the ASX 200 has closed above 5700 since June 2008.
