The Australian market fell on the second trading day of the week.

Here’s the scoreboard:

• S&P ASX 200: 5,018.40 -78.07 -1.53%
• All Ordinaries: 5,046.50 -73.97 -1.44%
• AUD/USD: 0.7112 -0.0024 -0.34%

The drop wiped out Monday’s 0.50% gain and last week’s 0.6% rise.

All 10 sectors were in the red today as falls in China markets added to a negative Wall Street where the S&P 500 closed overnight down 0.4%.

The major banks and financial stocks were hit hard, with Westpac down 2.55% to $30.20. The AMP lost 2.58% to $5.67.

Among the miners, Rio Tinto shed 2.16% to $50.74 and BHP 1.31% to $23.43. South32 was down 7.4% to $1.54.

Kathmandu was up 3.8% to $1.355 after it said once again that NZ group Briscoe’s $318 million takeover offer wasn’t good enough.

And political observers might like to note that today’s market fall is the biggest opening day loss on a prime minister’s first day since John Howard in 1996. He went on to lead the nation for 11 years, and became the nation’s second longest-serving PM after Menzies.
