The Australian share market closed softer after giving-up early gains on Thursday, 03 September 2015, as a surprise dip in July's retail sales and intensifying worries over a sharp slowdown in China, Australia's largest trading partner, rattled market sentiments. All 10 sectors were in the red. Consumer discretionary stocks were the hardest hit. The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index declined 73.70 points, or 1.44%, to 5027.80 points. The broader All Ordinaries index closed 70.70 points, or 1.38%, up at 5048.70.
