The Australian sharemarket managed to improve modestly for the first time this week, with the All Ordinaries Index (XAO) rising by just 0.1 per cent. Despite the gains, local shares slumped by 2.9 per cent over the past five sessions. Weakness from the miners continues to be a drag on trade, with iron ore prices slumping by around 15 per cent in just a month.
