The Australian sharemarket snapped a seven-day, winning streak on Thursday, as losses posted by the technology and energy sectors offset a strong session by the local miners.
The S&P/ASX 200 fell 14.9 points, or 0.2 per cent, to 7499.6, but remains just 1.8 per cent below the all-time high of 7632.8 it reached in August. The broader All Ordinaries tumbled 0.1 per cent to 7789.6.
