S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO) shares are down 0.3% to 8,904.6 points on Thursday.

Meanwhile, on The Bull this week, two experts share their views on three ASX shares.

Let’s take a look.

Temple & Webster Group Ltd (ASX: TPW)

The Temple & Webster share price is $4.35, down 0.8% today and down 82% over 12 months. 

Toby Grimm from Baker Young has a buy rating on this ASX consumer discretionary share. 

Grimm said: 

We don’t regularly play high growth consumer discretionary stocks, but we see an opportunity emerging in this online furniture and homewares retailer.

The company delivered record revenue of $664.6 million in full year 2026, up 10.6 per cent on the prior corresponding period.

It’s worth noting that new chief executive Susie Sugden was previously the chief marketing officer during the company’s highly successful infancy between 2016 and 2020.

The company is focusing on improving margins, which, in our view, is conservative and prudent given the incredibly challenging conditions in the retail sector.

We believe new management deserves an opportunity to rebase expectations in a sector offering medium term upside.

Also, we believe accumulating a position is worth considering for those willing to take relatively high volatility risk.

Kelsian Group Ltd (ASX: KLS)

The Kelsian share price is $4.05, up 0.5% today and down 18% over 12 months. 

Grimm has a hold rating on this ASX industrials share. 

He explained: 

KLS is a global operator of bus, motor coach and marine services.

In our view, it delivered highly respectable 2026 results, but was marked down on doubts surrounding the sustainability of its impressive US performance and the withdrawal of the SeaLink Rottnest Island ferry from the sale of its planned tourism portfolio.

However, we do see value at recent levels for what will ultimately be a far less volatile business moving forward.

It was recently trading on modest forward earnings multiples.

Boss Energy Ltd (ASX: BOE)

The Boss Energy share price is $1.59, up 4.1% today and down 17% over 12 months. 

Joshua Baker from RaaS Group has a sell rating on this ASX uranium share. 

Baker said: 

Boss is a multi-mine uranium producer. It owns the Honeymoon project in South Australia and has a 30 per cent stake in the Alta Mesa project in South Texas.

The Honeymoon project has presented challenges, with the company cutting production guidance in response to bad weather in the third quarter of 2026. A resource downgrade has since followed.

The company posted a net profit after tax of of $2.544 million in fiscal year 2026, up from a loss of $34.168 million in the prior year.

The shares have fallen from $4.62 on June 23, 2025 to trade at $1.53 on September 10, 2026.

Other stocks appeal more at this stage of the cycle.

Europe’s latest oil problem might feel a long way from Australia.

But I wouldn’t be so quick to ignore it.

Saudi Arabia has been forced to cut some crude shipments to Europe after drone attacks damaged its East-West Pipeline.

That pipeline carries oil from the kingdom’s eastern fields to the Red Sea.

The route has become especially important because it allows Saudi crude to bypass the Strait of Hormuz.

However, that backup route has now been shut off.

And while Australia doesn’t rely heavily on Saudi oil, we could still end up feeling the impact here.

Europe is already scrambling

Saudi Aramco has reportedly cancelled some September cargoes to European customers, while others have been delayed.

Polish refiner Orlen responded by securing 16 replacement crude cargoes from suppliers including Norway, Algeria, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and the Americas.

That shows us just how quickly buyers are having to look elsewhere. And the more refiners chasing replacement barrels, the more competition there is for the same supply.

Brent crude is still trading above US$100 per barrel after jumping earlier this week, although prices have pulled back from their recent highs.

One reason is that Saudi Arabia has found another way to move some of its oil.

The kingdom has been offering more crude to Asian refiners through ship-to-ship transfers near Oman, while loadings from Saudi Gulf ports have increased.

Could Australia feel it next?

Yes, but the impact here won’t necessarily be fuel shortages.

Australia imports fuel from a number of countries across the Asia-Pacific. Its two remaining refineries in Brisbane and Geelong produced around 20% of the country’s annual fuel needs in 2025.

That means Australia isn’t in the same position as European refiners trying to replace lost Saudi supply.

The bigger risk for us is price.

Most of our imported refined fuel comes from Asia, while local petrol and diesel prices are heavily influenced by Singapore fuel benchmarks and the Aussie dollar.

So, if higher crude prices push fuel prices up across Asia, Australian motorists could end up paying more at the pump.

And it may not take very long.

The ACCC says changes in international benchmark prices can take around 2 weeks to flow through to fuel prices in Australian cities.

We have some breathing room

Australia does at least have some protection if the situation gets worse.

During the June quarter, our fuel stocks averaged around 44 days of petrol, 36 days of diesel, and 31 days of jet fuel.

The government is also working towards a one-billion-litre strategic fuel reserve, along with higher minimum stockholding requirements.

So, I don’t think Australia is about to run out of fuel any time soon.

But if the problems in the Middle East drag on, Australians will end up paying more at the petrol station.

The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is finally having a better day on Thursday, although it has already given back some of its early gains.

At the time of writing, the ASX 200 is up 0.39% to 8,730 points after climbing as high as 8,787 points earlier in the session.

That puts the index a little further away from Tuesday’s intraday low of 8,657 points, but there’s still plenty of damage to repair.

The benchmark remains down 4.22% over the past month, while trading around 6% below its 52-week high of 9,296 points.

So, is this another short-lived bounce or can the rally keep going?

Bank shares drive the rebound

The big four banks are doing plenty of the work today.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA) shares are up 1.29% to $153.49, while National Australia Bank Ltd (ASX: NAB) shares have climbed 1.96% to $38.77.

Westpac Banking Corp (ASX: WBC) shares are 1.63% higher at $34.99, and ANZ Group Holdings Ltd (ASX: ANZ) shares are up 1.78% to $37.67.

There is some help coming from healthcare as well, with CSL Ltd (ASX: CSL) shares rising 1.41% to $176.86.

The gains are reasonably widespread, too.

At the latest check, 109 ASX 200 stocks are rising, compared with 84 falling and 7 unchanged.

The next few sessions will tell us more

Today’s bounce is encouraging, but I’d be a little careful about reading too much into one session just yet.

Wall Street finished lower overnight after the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points to a range of 3.75% to 4%.

It was the Fed’s first-rate hike since July 2023.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) fell 1.21%, while the S&P 500 Index (SP: .INX) dropped 0.45%.

The Fed also left the door open to further rate hikes as it continues trying to get inflation back towards its 2% target.

There is plenty happening locally as well.

The RBA cash rate is currently 4.35% after three hikes in 2026, with its next interest rate decision due on 29 September.

Energy stocks are also weighing on the market today as oil prices pull back.

Woodside Energy Group Ltd (ASX: WDS) shares are down 1.95% to $32.62, while Santos Ltd (ASX: STO) shares have fallen 2.92% to $8.48.

Foolish takeaway

Today’s rebound is a welcome change, but I don’t think it tells us much on its own.

The ASX 200 was more than 1% higher earlier this morning before giving back a decent chunk of that gain. That shows buyers are not completely in control just yet.

I’d be more interested to see whether the index can string together a few positive sessions and work its way back above 8,800 points.
