The Aussie market finished lower today but stocks managed to claw back earlier losses ahead of tonight's crucial vote in Germany regarding expanding Europe's bailout fund.

Most sectors ended today's session in the red, however resource stocks were among the worst performers; BHP lost 1.4% and Rio Tinto dropped 2.5%.

Gold stocks were weighed down by another sharp fall in bullion prices overnight; Medusa slumped 5.3% and Newcrest declined 2.7%.

The big four were mostly weaker, with ANZ shedding 0.8% and Westpac giving up 0.5%.

The ASX 200 fell 31 points (-0.8%), closing at 4008.
