LOS ANGELES: Australian stocks started the week with losses early Monday, taking signs from Moderate oil and iron-ore rates, as well as Wall Street’s reduced end at the end of the last week.
The S&P/ASX 200 was .five% below its final close, as front-month futures for Brent crude slipped below $50 a barrel, hitting power names (Santos Ltd. down 2.2%, Oil Search Ltd. down 1.8%), but with airline shares failing to get the usual boost (Qantas Airways Ltd. down 1.4%, Virgin Australia Holdings Ltd. down 1.two%). Iron miners saw heavier losses, with Arrium Ltd. down 3.five%, BC Iron Ltd. down two.8%, and Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. down 1.8%, as Dow Jones Newswires reported spot iron-ore prices dropping back beneath the psychologically crucial $70-per-metric-ton handle. Banks have been mixed amid the damaging cue from the U.S. (Westpac Banking Corp. up .1%, National Australia Bank Ltd. down .four%), although gold miners tracked rising gold futures to sharp gains (Evolution Mining Ltd. up five.six%, Perseus Mining Ltd. up ten.5%). Shares of Fairfax Media Ltd. rose 2.three% as the market place signaled its apparent approval of the enterprise obtaining the rest of Metro Media Publishing Holdings in a $72 million cash-and-stock deal, according to a separate Dow Jones report.
