The big four banks, the major miners and the energy sector have all dragged Australian shares lower, with $18 billion wiped off the local bourse as it mirrors a global markets slump.
The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index was down 65.2 points, or 1.05 per cent, to 6,130.0 points at 1030 AEDT this morning, while the broader All Ordinaries was down 66.1 points, or 1.05 per cent, at 6,214.8.
The dip resulted in $18 billion erased, headed by miners and large banks.
The fall comes after London's FTSE, Germany's DAX and the three US indices all dropped at least 1.5 per cent on Friday following weaker-than-expected manufacturing and services data.
