The Australian sharemarket’s 1.4 per cent fall on 8 October was its largest single-day loss since late March, with blue-chip stocks in particular retreating. The bearish investor sentiment also weighed on the Australian dollar, which fell to its lowest level in 2.5 years in local trading. Charting suggests that the S&P/ASX 200 could fall below 6,000 points in coming days, although the earnings outlook means it would be unlikely to remain below this level for very long.
