The Australian sharemarket dropped, led by a sell-off in commodity stocks, as traders upped their bets on more rate rises from the RBA and amid concerns about China's economic recovery.
The $S&P/ASX 200 (.XJO.AU)$ lost 1.6 per cent, or 118 points, to 7091.3 points, for its lowest close since March 29 and worst single day loss since March. For the month the index shed 3 per cent.
That's after monthly inflation data for April topped the market's expectations at 6.8 per cent year-on-year and Chinese manufacturing landed weaker than expected.
Mining companies slumped as coal futures extended a 12 per cent loss to fall another 4 per cent and iron ore also hit the skids. $Whitehaven Coal Ltd (WHC.AU)$ sank 6.5 per cent to $5.66, $New Hope Corp Ltd (NHC.AU)$ tumbled 4.2 per cent to $4.61 and $Coronado Global Resources Inc (CRN.AU)$ shed 3.3 per cent to $1.32. Australia's largest miner $BHP Group Ltd (BHP.AU)$ lost 3.4 per cent to $42.02.
Oil companies were also lower as crude fell below $US70 a barrel.
Elsewhere on the ASX, $Bank of Queensland Ltd (BOQ.AU)$ tanked 5.4 per cent to $5.47 after it admitted that money-laundering regulator AUSTRAC and banking regulator APRA had agreed enforceable undertakings against the regional lender.
