Australia S&P/ASX200 slumps below the psychological 6000-point level

Australian equity market finished session lower on Tuesday, 14 November 2017, dragged down by energy and materials stocks after pullback in commodity shares. Tuesday's pullback also came amid ongoing political uncertainty in Australia, as more members of parliament have resigned over their dual citizenship status. At the close the benchmark S&P/ASX200 was down 0.88%, at 5,968.7 points, after the index pushed through 6,000 points on November 7, the first time it had achieved the mark in almost a decade.
