The ASX 200 index traded in the red since the opening bell, but pared losses towards the close and ended just 0.27% lower.

The loss followed action on Wall Street overnight, as US investors digested weaker than expected US CPI data.

The energy sector was the main laggard today, losing 2%, with names such as Santos (ASX:STO) and Worley (ASX:WOR) falling by almost 4%.

The Resources and Utilities sectors also underperformed.

BHP (ASX:BHP) fell by  3.50% after telling investors that it has made a ‘miscalculation’ at the Jansen Potash Project in Canada.  The error means the company will spend an additional $US5.7 billion over the next six years to complete the first phase of the mine.

Oops.

Meanwhile, the Westpac Consumer Sentiment for September rose 2% despite COVID-19 lockdowns, after falling by 4.4% in August, the lowest point in a year according to Westpac.
