Australia's share market has edged lower, unable to push higher after breaking records two days ago.
The S&P/ASX200 grinded 25.9 points lower, down 0.29 per cent, to 8,805.5, as the broader All Ordinaries fell 27.8 points, or 0.31 per cent, to 9,074.2, on Friday.
The top 200 gained about 1.7 per cent for the week, but has faded since soaring to a new intraday peak of 8,848.8 on Wednesday.
Only four sectors finished higher on Friday, led by the raw materials sector, which rallied 1.4 per cent and was the week's best performer, up more than five per cent.
Consumer discretionary stocks were also strong, up 3.7 per cent since Monday, while the financial weighed on the bourse, slipping 1.2 per cent and wiping most of its weekly gains.
The Australian dollar is roughly flat against the greenback, buying 65.18 US cents, down from 65.24 US cents on Thursday at 5pm.
