red, the unweighted worst performing sectors of the ASX today (compared to close yesterday) was materials, then financials - this is 60% of the ASX in terms of market cap. combined these 2 lost $6.1Bn off the ASX today (91% of todays market loss).

Are you reading the ASX weighted index calcs? can't say I've ever liked them, I prefer unweighted data myself - see below.

Uses raw trade data for 1715 stocks with liquidity that trades at least weekly. Ranking provided from best (1 = green) to worst (red).

sector - unweighted asx eod 05nov09


industry - unweighted asx eod 05nov09


these are from todays open to close - doesn't count gapping up or down in stocks overnight.

but this one does, as a summary comparison between todays close and yesterdays (in $M of mkt cap)


Should answer your question ...
