Australian shares have closed below 4000 points after business confidence sank to a record low. Analysts said the market with thin trading volumes was plagued by the negative sentiment concerning global recession. Resources sector would lead the market lower as oil prices fell below $US60.
The Australia share market closed marginally weaker after a 75 basis point interest rate cut by the RBA boosted the bourse back from earlier sharply lower levels. The deep cut mirrors RBA's worry about the domestic and global economic outlook. Analysts said the Australia market may have hit the bottom last week at about 3600 points, and the Democratic win in the US election will also give a positive lead to the Australia market.
Yesterday the Australian share market closed weaker on lower base metal prices and a profit downgrade by Lend Lease Corporation. The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index had fallen 16.3 points, or 0.33%, to 4887.7, while the broader All Ordinaries index lost 20.4 points, or 0.41%, to 4957.6.
