The Australian share market has reversed earlier gains. Right now, the All Ordinaries index is down around half of a per cent, as is the ASX 200 index. The banks are weaker. Insurance, like QBE insurance, are on the rise. Mining stocks are down. The gold miner Newcrest is off around 3 per cent. And Telstra is also on a decline. Across the region, Japan's Nikkei has shed more than one per cent, but stocks in Hong Kong are edging up. And in the US, strong employment and business activity figures pointed1 to resilience in the US economy. And added to the case, the US Federal Reserve will taper2 stimulus3 later this month. As a result, the Australian dollar has been falling against the strengthening greenback. But it's making some ground this afternoon to 91.31 US cents.
And building activity is still weak, Alicia.
That's right. The Housing Industry Association says rising house prices should start to boost
residential4 construction by the end of the year. The latest performance of construction index by the ANI Group and the Housing Industry Association slipped to a reading of 43.7 for August. The survey shows the construction
sector5 has now been in decline for more than three years. But the HIA says builders are reporting increased confidence among home buyers.
