SYDNEY, Aug 29: Australian shares reversed early losses to finish up just 0.1 percent Thursday, helped by a recovery in the miners and regional markets treading higher, but underlying concerns of a military strike on Syria kept a lid on gains.
The S&P/ASX 200 index rose 5.2 points to finish at 5,092.4. The benchmark fell 1.1 percent on Wednesday, its biggest one-day drop in three weeks. New Zealand’s benchmark NZX 50 index added 0.2 percent or 10.8 points to finish the session at 4,520.5.
