Australia Stock Market Today: ASX 200 Hits Two-Week Low as Banks, Miners Slide; Santos Jumps. (Indo Premier)
Australian shares slid to a two-week low on Thursday, pressured by a fresh jump in oil prices and stalled U.S.-Iran negotiations—sentiment that outweighed another round of record finishes on Wall Street. The S&P/ASX 200 shed 0.6% to close at 8,793.40. Energy names stood out as the lone bright spot.
