The Australian sharemarket posted further losses on 13 September 2016, after initially rebounding from the sharp fall in the previous trading session. However, US markets rallied after Federal Reserve official Lael Brainard said the central bank should adopt a cautious approach to tightening monetary policy. The Australian market has shed about six per cent in the last three weeks, and Lucinda Chan of Macquarie Private Wealth says further profit-taking is likely.
