Australian share market closed lower for third straight session on Thursday, 03 November 2016, with investors opting for less risky assets after Wall Street fell for a seventh straight session overnight and on caution ahead of next week's hotly contested US presidential election. Opinion polls showing a tightening White House race between Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump have rattled markets. At the closing bell, the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index dropped 3.40 points, or 0.07%, to 5,225.60, while the broader All Ordinaries index was down 4.40 points, or 0.08%, to 5,306.60.
