Australia market rises 1.2%

Australian share market rose for the first time in three consecutive days on Thursday, 26 June 2014, thanks to window dressing ahead of the end of the financial year, coupled with a strong lead from Wall Street overnight. All ASX sectors ascended, with shares of consumer discretionary, consumer staples financials, property trusts, and materials counters leading advance. The benchmark S&P/ASX200 added 1.15% to 5464.30 and the broader All Ordinaries grew 1.11% to 5446.80.
