Australia stocks fall to one-week low

The Australian share market declined to one-week low lower on Thursday, 06 August 2015, as ANZ's capital raising announcement revived fresh concerns about the banks' new and looming regulatory requirements. Nine out of ten ASX sectors ended in the red, with financial, energy, industrial, healthcare and consumer staple sectors leading declines, although materials sector was uptick for the second session in a row due to commodities gains. The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index dropped 63.90 points, or 1.13%, to 5610.10 points, while the broader All Ordinaries Index declined by 1.05%, or 59.40 points, to 5600.10 points.
