The share market wrapped up a losing week with a second-straight decline as borrowing costs on both sides of the Pacific tested multi-year highs.
For the week, the Australian benchmark lost 82 points or 1.2 per cent. The market has logged only one weekly advance in six weeks, and just two since mid-August.
Gains in energy producers and gold miners were outweighed today by declines across the broader market. Banks and property stocks were among the biggest drags.
Coal mining provided most of the day's best performers. $New Hope Corp Ltd (NHC.AU)$ surged 7.69 per cent to an all-time high. $Coronado Global Resources Inc (CRN.AU)$ put on 5.73 per cent. $Whitehaven Coal Ltd (WHC.AU)$ added 4.59 per cent.
$Telix Pharmaceuticals Ltd (TLX.AU)$ jumped 12.67 per cent as investors reassessed yesterday's trading update. Gold miner $Perseus Mining Ltd (PRU.AU)$ climbed 5.85 per cent.
The big four high-street banks pulled back from multi-month highs. Bank stocks rallied earlier in the week after a strong earnings result from Bank of America underlined the income boost from higher rates.
This afternoon, $Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBAPK.AU)$ eased 1.48 per cent, $ANZ Group Holdings Ltd (ANZ.AU)$ 1.08 per cent, $National Australia Bank Ltd (NAB.AU)$ 1.54 per cent and Westpac 0.79 per cent.
