The Aussie market finished flat today, with investors opting for caution amid ongoing economic uncertainty in Europe and the US.

The big miners were modestly weaker, with BHP slipping 0.1% and Rio Tinto dropping 1%.

Fortescue declined 0.7% despite reporting strong September quarter production numbers.

A rebound in oil prices lifted the energy majors; Woodside climbed 1.1% and Origin Energy rose 1.6%.

CBA was the sole member of the big four to strengthen (+0.1%). Westpac fell 1% and ANZ dipped 0.3%.

The ASX 200 remained at 4008.

The market was up 2.7% over the past five sessions, reversing part of last week's heavy falls.
