Australia Market snaps 9-days rally

Australian share market has closed the final session of the year fractionally lower, Thursday, 31 December 2015, capping its winning streak at nine, as investors opted withdrawing some profit ahead of New Year's Day. The market's fall followed a nine-day run of gains in a so-called Santa rally. At the close, the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index ended 24 points, or 0.45%, down at 5295.90 points, while the broader All Ordinaries index lost 21.80 points, or 0.41%, to 5344.60 points.
