The big four banks, Commonwealth, NAB, Westpac and ANZ shed between 0.3 percent and 0.9 percent, spooked by weaker-than-expected building approvals and manufacturing data ahead of the Reserve Bank of Australia's rate-setting meeting tomorrow. Retail stocks also lost ground, with Woolworths, JB Hi-Fi and Myer falling 1-3 percent, while oil & gas firm Woodside gained 1.6 percent and Oil Search closed up a percent.
Australia's manufacturing activity contracted in March, pressured by a stronger currency and weak domestic demand, a private survey showed. The Australian Industry Group/PriceWaterhouseCoopers Australian Performance of Manufacturing Index fell 1.8 index points to 49.5 in the month after three months of growth.
Approvals for new homes, meanwhile, slumped a seasonally adjusted 7.8 per cent in February from the previous month, data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed, marking the steepest fall in approvals since November last year.
