Australia stocks maintain gains on positive offshore lead

The Australian share market advanced for third consecutive day on Thursday, 2 July 2015, as risk sentiments boosted by tracking strong finish on Wall Street overnight. But, weaker than expected May trade data and lingering uncertainty over Greece's debt situation capped gains. All ASX sectors closed higher, with shares of financial, retailers, consumer goods, and civil aviation companies being major gainers. The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index and the broader All Ordinaries Index each jumped by 1.5% to 5599.80 and 5587.90, respectively.
