3 THE ASX YESTERDAY IN REVIEW AUS Ticker Change ASX Falls 2.4% Following Wall Street Selloff The Australian sharemarket fell sharply yesterday as most Asian markets retreated. The ASX200 benchmark index declined 2.4% while the broader All Ordinaries slipped 2.3%. The fall came after the ASX experienced two strong days of gains, rising nearly 4% as equity markets from Asia to Europe rebounded. The U.S. stock market ran out of steam overnight which dragged our SPI futures down and eventually lead to the selloff. All sectors finished in the red. Energy was the worst performing sector falling 3.8% followed by Telecommunications and Financials declining 3% and 2.7% respectively. The best performing sector was Information Technology which ended the session 0.5% lower. In economic news the Australian Bureau of Statistics released the latest employment figures. The unemployment rate fell to 6.2 per cent in August, from 6.3 per cent in July, while the number of people with jobs rose by 17,400 in the month, more than economists' expectations of a 6,000 gain.
