Australian Markets Notably Lower

The Australian stock market is lower on Tuesday, with the S&P/ASX 200 falling back below 8,850 and reversing some of the prior two sessions' gains. The decline appears to be broad sentiment-driven rather than tied to a specific macro catalyst, despite positive overnight cues from Wall Street. Weakness in financials is contributing to the pullback.
