2 Jun 2022 , 05:39 PM

Australian share market finished session lower on Thursday, 02 June 2022, as investor sentiment was dented by an overnight fall on Wall Street on rekindled concern over the U.S. Federal Reserves aggressive monetary tightening plans in response to help tame an overheated economy.

Total nine of 11 sectors ended lower along with the S&P/ASX 200 Index, with information technology, healthcare, telecommunication services, and financials issues suffered the largest percentage losses. Energy was the best performing sector, gaining +3.06%. The top performing stocks in S&P/ASX200 index were WOODSIDE ENERGY and TABCORP HOLDING, up 5.2% and 5% respectively. The bottom performing stocks in this index were MEGAPORT and POLYNOVO, down 6.04% and 5.86% respectively. Tech stocks led losses, with Block and Xero losing 5% and 3%, respectively. Energy stocks advanced, with Woodside Energy surging 5.2% after JP Morgan on Wednesday handled a $1.1 billion block trade in the companys shares.
