PM 19 Aug 26: ASX Falls for the 6th Straight Day

View descriptionShare
 

The Australian share market extended its longest losing streak since April, with six consecutive days of declines driven by falling US tech stocks and rising oil price concerns. Despite the weakness, the market remains up for the month and year-to-date. Reporting season volatility continues with significant individual stock swings, while healthcare rebounds strongly and financials struggle for a fourth straight session.

Steve Daghlian and Laura Besarati are Market Analysts at CommSec. Each episode, they break down the day's market movements and explain what the numbers really mean.
