What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Australian shares fell on Wednesday afternoon, with major banks leading losses after a sell-off in U.S. bank stocks overnight. The decline followed Citigroup and Goldman Sachs falling, even though both beat third-quarter profit forecasts. JPMorgan Chase missed analyst expectations, contributing to a nearly 2% drop in the financials sector by midday.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Weakness in the financials sector has an outsized effect on the overall Australian market because banks make up a large share of the benchmark. The sell-off prompted Commonwealth Bank of Australia chief to warn of slowing growth.
