Australia market falls 0.9% on profit taking

The Australian share market finished softer on first trading session of the week, Monday, 12 October 2015, as investors opted for withdrawing profit off the table after 4.5% gain in the previous week. Most of the ASX industry blue-chip stocks declined, with energy producers were the worst performers amid profit booking following the sector's double-digit gains last week. The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index lost 46.80 points, or 0.9%, to 5232.90 points, while the broader All Ordinaries index sank 41.80 points, or 0.8%, to 5267.40 points.
