Australia market closes near three-week high

The Australian share market advanced for second straight session on Tuesday, 06 October 2015, on the back of continued recovery in materials and resources stocks following a rise in commodity prices and a fall in the U.S. dollar. But, the market lost some of its puff late afternoon after the Reserve Bank of Australia as expected left its key cash rate unchanged at 2% for a fifth straight month. The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index and the broader All Ordinaries index both gained 0.3% to 5167.40 points and 5199 points, respectively.
