Australian Markets Notably Lower

The S&P/ASX 200 is falling toward 8,900, extending losses for a third session despite positive Wall Street cues on Friday. Weakness in mining and energy is weighing on the Australian market, pointing to a cautious, risk-off tone. The move appears market-driven rather than event-specific, so near-term impact is likely limited.
