The S&P/ASX 200 finished Friday, November 6, 2026, at 9,020.8 points. According to AAP Finance, published by the Riverine Herald, the benchmark lost 44.3 points, equivalent to 0.49 percent. Compared with Thursday's close at 9,065.1 points, the decline met the threshold for a separate closing report.

Mining Stocks Lead The Retreat

The session followed a sharp sell-off in US technology shares and broader weakness across Asian markets. Mining companies were among the main drags as copper prices fell to more than three-month lows. BHP and Rio Tinto each declined by more than 2 percent, according to the AAP report. The index's comparatively limited technology exposure helped cushion the impact of the global technology rout, but materials remained under pressure.

Banks Provide Some Support

Financial stocks helped limit the benchmark's losses ahead of the weekend. The major banks and insurers advanced, although the financials sector ended a three-week winning streak that had added more than 8 percent. Consumer-facing shares also performed relatively well, while staples had been supported during the week by defensive positioning and updates from Coles and Woolworths.

Weekly Gain Remains Intact

Despite Friday's decline, the S&P/ASX 200 gained about 1.2 percent over the week and recorded a second consecutive weekly advance. The result came after the Reserve Bank of Australia raised its official cash rate to 4.85 percent on Tuesday, the highest level since 2008, adding a domestic monetary-policy consideration to the global risk backdrop.

For investors, the session underscored the index's sensitivity to resource prices and global technology sentiment, while the relative resilience of banks and defensive consumer shares moderated the overall move. The closing level and daily change refer to the S&P/ASX 200 index, not an ETF, future or individual constituent. Further coverage is available on the S&P/ASX 200 topic page.
