The blog is published by the Australian Stock Report research and report editing team together with our very own "Passionate Trader", Carl Capolingua.

The Aussie market snapped a five session winning streak today, weighed down by lingering eurozone debt concerns and a disappointing start to the US earnings season.

Resource stocks led the session's declines, with BHP and Rio Tinto dropping 0.8% each.

The big four were mostly lower with the exception of Commonwealth Bank, which rose 0.4% on the back of a broker upgrade.

JB Hifi was among the top performing retailers (+3.5%) despite a subdued 1Q12 trading update.

The ASX 200 shed 23 points (-0.6%), settling at 4204.
