Australian Market Report of June 29, 2010

29.06.2010  |  ABN Newswire
Sydney, June 29, 2010 - The Australian shares gave up their early gains and ended in a negative territory on Monday. The market weakness was mainly due to tax-related selling ahead of the financial year end of June 30. The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index fell 28.5 points, or 0.65 per cent, to 4384.5 points, while the broader All Ordinaries index lost 0.67 per cent to settle at 4409.7.

Port and rail operator Asciano (ASX:AIO) and The Trust Co, the responsible entity of the Asciano Finance Trust, have approved a conditional proposal to simplify the corporate structure of Asciano by converting from a stapled security structure into a single holding company.

Wattyl Limited (ASX:WYL) has entered into a scheme implementation deed with the Valspar Corporation (NYSE:VAL), one of the world's largest paint and coatings companies, for the proposed acquisition by Valspar of all the issued shares in Wattyl.
