: The All Ordinaries index closed five points lower at 5,507, according to Australian Broadcasting Corporation. The market opened higher as investors saw an opportunity to profit from yesterday heavy fall and those earlier in the week, but that momentum evaporated by lunchtime. The ASX 200 lost another six points or 0.1 per cent, to 5,499. It was the mildest fall of the week, but still meant more than $70 billion has been written off the market in just five days. Unlike much of the week, today losses were concentrated on the finance sector, along with modest losses for mining and energy stocks. The ASX 200 fall of nearly 5 per cent was the market worst week since May 2012.
