The S&P/ASX200 (ASX:XJO) was dragged lower by the materials sector, one of the 10 sectors finishing in the red, as a 4 per cent fall in iron ore prices dragged it down 2.7 per cent.
The S&P/ASX 200 (INDEXASX: XJO) and All Ordinaries (INDEXASX: XAO) share prices both fell by 0.8% with technology the only sector able to manage a positive result, adding 0.4%.
The iShares S&P 500 ETF (ASX:IVV) could be the best way to passively invest in the stock market, in my eyes.
