Australia Market falls 0.3%

Australian share market gave away early gains and fell into the negative territory on Tuesday, 26 April 2016, following weak lead from US equities overnight and soft Asian bourses today. Meanwhile, slide in commodity prices also weighed on investors' risk appetite. Most industry sectors were down, with materials, industrial, and energy stocks being major losers. At close of trade, the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 declined 15.80 points, or 0.3%, to 5220.60. The broader All Ordinaries dropped 15.60 points, or 0.69%, to 5283.60.
