Dec 12, 2024 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) --
The Australian sharemarket retreated again on Thursday, with the S&P/ASX 200 shedding 0.3 per cent to close at 8,330.3 points. Data showing that the nation's official unemployment rate fell to 3.9 per cent in November weighed on investor sentiment, with financial markets now viewing the prospect of an interest rate cut in early 2025 as less likely. Syrah Resources fell 28 per cent to $0.19, Platinum Asset Management finished 21.1 per cent lower at $0.67 and Ventia Services Group was down 22.5 per cent at $3.33 in response to price-fixing allegations. However, Fortescue advanced 0.6 per cent to $20.22 and Pilbara Minerals rose four per cent to $2.36..
