The Australian stock market continued to decline after the release of strong employment report.

The Australian S&P/ASX 200 index fell 1% to 8,711 points. Prior to this, Australia's unemployment rate in October had decreased, and the number of new jobs added exceeded expectations, proving that the Reserve Bank of Australia's decision to keep interest rates unchanged last week was correct. The New Zealand S&P/NZX 50 index fell 0.2% to 13,641.40 points.
