Aussie shares ended lower today, following the horrid night on international markets on Friday. All the sectors finished in negative territory with material and healthcare stocks the hardest hit.

The big four banks were all down expect for ANZ (flat). NAB the worst performer of the group, dropping 0.8%. The mining majors weighed on the market as they factored in a steep decline during Friday's night session. BHP and Rio Tinto lost 0.9% and 2.4% respectively, whilst Fortescue dropped 2.1%.

The ASX 200 lost 30 points (-0.7%) to close at 4541, but did manage to climb off its low of 4523.
