Thanks @shovel40, @Fiji1 and morning crew.
Half-time wrap:
The share market slumped towards its heaviest loss in at least two weeks as global growth worries fuelled selling across the Asia-Pacific region.
The ASX 200 dived 107 points or 1.46% in the wake of losses in Europe and the US overnight and again in Asia today following dire Chinese economic data yesterday. The reports prompted a wave of growth downgrades from investment analysts.
In Asia this morning, Hong Kong's Hang Seng index shed another 1.3%, the Shanghai Composite 0.57% and Japan's Nikkei 1.03%. US futures were ahead 0.06% after last night's 1.16% slide.
Back home, all 11 sectors declined, with losses ranging from 0.03% for real estate up to 3.38% for technology. CBA was the heaviest drag as its shares traded ex-dividend. BHP, Rio Tinto and Fortescue Metals were other notable drags following overnight declines in copper and other base metals.Personal trading: Took 1CG and AGE on retrace. Exited TTT from yesterday for a slender gain.
