Australia stocks trade softer – MarketWatch

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — Australian shares are trading weaker Tuesday morning, though off their early lows, with the S&P/ASX 200 /quotes/zigman/1653884/delayed AU:XJO +0.41% showing a loss of 0.2%. A retreat for stocks across Europe and the U.S. is weighing on the majority of the financials, with Australia & New Zealand Banking Group /quotes/zigman/180795/delayed AU:ANZ +0.57% /quotes/zigman/180794/delayed/quotes/nls/anewf ANEWF -0.28% and Macquarie Group Ltd. /quotes/zigman/482521/delayed AU:MQG +0.41% /quotes/zigman/482522/delayed/quotes/nls/mcqef MCQEF +0.80% each down 0.5%, and National Australia Bank Ltd. /quotes/zigman/181126/delayed AU:NAB +0.84% /quotes/zigman/181125/delayed/quotes/nls/naubf NAUBF -0.45% down 0.7%. Further losses for spot iron ore are dragging on some miners, with Atlas Iron Ltd. /quotes/zigman/361978/delayed AU:AGO -1.61% down 1.5%, Rio Tinto Ltd. /quotes/zigman/176317/delayed AU:RIO -0.43% /quotes/zigman/182541/delayed/quotes/nls/rio RIO -1.73% down 0.4%, and Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. /quotes/zigman/329628/delayed AU:FMG -0.23% /quotes/zigman/329626/delayed/quotes/nls/fsumf FSUMF -2.40% down 1.9%, getting no credit for Barclays reiterating its overweight rating on the name. Among the media shares, Fairfax Media Ltd. /quotes/zigman/182272/delayed AU:FXJ -4.79% /quotes/zigman/182271/delayed/quotes/nls/ffxlf FFXLF +65.45% is down 0.3% and APN News & Media Ltd. /quotes/zigman/1637487/delayed AU:APN +0.68% /quotes/zigman/8279344/delayed/quotes/nls/apndf APNDF +2.08% up 1.7% as the two confirm their previously announced deal in which APN will print some Fairfax newspapers in New Zealand. And among the smaller stocks, Wotif.com Holdings Ltd. /quotes/zigman/417430/delayed AU:WTF 0.00% is 0.5% lower as J.P. Morgan writes that suitor Expedia Inc. /quotes/zigman/7619798/delayed/quotes/nls/expe EXPE -1.05% is unlikely to see any competition in its bid for the online travel site. Wotif shares had rallied almost 25% on Monday.
