ASX 200 ends the day down on Monday by 0.95 per cent

The ASX 200 ended the day down on Monday by 0.95 per cent. Sky News Business Reporter Edward Boyd said the market dropped “pretty sharply” this morning. “Pushed lower by mining stocks, utilities and energy companies,” he said. “Rising bond yields and falling commodity prices, they’re the main reason for the market fall. “After the first two hours of trading, the ASX 200, it was down about 1.4 per cent – but you can see it did recover a bit in the afternoon – it still finished down almost a per cent.”
