ASX 200 drops 176 points to 8,613.2 as energy and real estate slide

AI Market Summary
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 fell ~2% to a four-month low with all sectors red, led by energy amid an ~8.9% weekly drop in Brent on higher Middle East shipments and uncertain Iran-war resolution. Real estate also weakened as markets reassessed the path of RBA policy after a recent hike to 4.6% and sticky trimmed-mean inflation. The RBA's call for stronger crisis planning reinforced risk-off sentiment.
