Australian share market finished the session at a fresh eight-month low on Monday, 13 October 2014, amid worries about global economic growth. The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index and the broader All Ordinaries Index both declined by 0.63% to 5155.50 and 5153.10, respectively. Turnover was relatively subdued with 1.60 billion shares worth of A$3.80 billion traded today.
Except materials, all sectors were firmly in the red, with the industrials, financials, and consumer goods stocks being hardest hit. The mining stocks recovered from recent heavy selling on the back of stronger-than-expected trade figures from the country's largest trading partner.
