Australian share market finished session just a shade lower on Tuesday, 15 November 2016, recouping some early losses after positive remarks on the economy from the Reserve Bank of Australia offset risk aversion. In the minutes of its November policy meeting, Australia's central bank said it expects core inflation to pick up gradually amid surging prices for key commodity exports and an economy running near potential, implying it might be done cutting interest rates this cycle. The ASX sectors closed mixed, with materials and healthcare issues underperformed other sectors, offsetting gains in energy sector. At the closing bell, the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index declined 19.50 points, or 0.36%, to 5,326.20, while the broader All Ordinaries index decreased 20.50 points, or 0.38%, to 5,399.80.
