Stocks retreat on fall in banks and miners

The Australian share market has retreated by more than two per cent, led downwards by banking and mining stocks and a weaker performance on Wall Street
In the US on Tuesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 186.29 points, or 2.34 per cent, to finish at 7,789.56
Here at the close, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 index was down 86.8 points, 2.34 per cent, at 3619.5, and the broader All Ordinaries index shed 81 points, or 2.22 per cent, to 3567.5
CMC Markets analyst David Taylor said the market opened lower and stayed in negative territory, despite some support from gold stocks and Telstra
"With all the big banks and the giant BHP Billiton down, the weakness was felt across all sectors" Mr Taylor said
"Gold stocks and Telstra, which lent some support on the market, were not enough to counter the weight of some big players"
Mr Taylor said the local market was hit from several directions
"The US first quarter reporting season kicked off with a dismal result for aluminium producer Alcoa and that hurt our mining sector
We also had lower oil prices and that hurt our energy stocks
Finally, continued worries about the level of toxic assets on (US) banks' balance sheets eroded any confidence that was in the finance sector"
National Australia Bank was off $1.02, or 4.42 per cent, to $22.04, ANZ Bank was down 70 cents to $16.30, Commonwealth Bank lost $1.45 to $34.87 and Westpac was 29 cents lower at $20.01
BHP Billiton was down 92 cents, or 2.81 per cent, at $31.78 and Rio Tinto lost 37 cents, or 0.7 per cent, to $52.81
Rio Tinto has blamed media speculation for its falling share price after the stock exchange demanded an explanation for the fall of almost 12 per cent in the stock since April 3
The spot price of gold was $US887.20 per ounce, up $US7.80 on Tuesday's local close of $US879.40
Gold stocks were stronger, with Newcrest Mining adding 36 cents to $29.11, Newmont lifting 15 cents to $6.15 and Lihir Gold gaining eight cents to $3.02
