Australia Market ends edge lower

Australian equity market finished session lower on Tuesday, 26 September 2017, snapping two straight sessions of gains, hurt by tracking weak lead from Wall Street overnight. Most of ASX sectors declined, with financials, materials and consumer discretionary stocks were the biggest drags on the index. However, losses were capped, supported most by strong gains from energy stocks thanks to a lift in the price of oil and a lift in property shares which were hit hard last week. The S&P/ASX 200 index fell 0.22 per cent, or 12.73 points to 5,671 at the close of trade.
