PM 09 Jun 26: Aussie stocks slide for a third straight session

The Australian share market fell for a third consecutive session as investors caught up with heavy US and Asian losses.

Energy and materials sectors led declines, though defensive areas and some banks offered support. Key events to watch this week include corporate briefings and US inflation data.
