All major banks fell between 1.3% and 1.8% while BHP and RIO both declined 1.1% and 0.6% respectively. Forge Group tumbled 17.8% after issuing another profit warning. The AUD is taking a breather after yesterday's strong run, it is currently trading at US$0.9037. The SPI was down 1.5% at 5,183 points on the Sydney Futures Exchange.
