An early session slide kept the ASX 200 in the red for most of the day with the index closing down 0.2%. Tech rebounded strongly, thanks to Altium's rejection of a $5 billion takeover offer from US tech juggernaut, Autodesk. Altium's share price closed up 39% as a result. Meanwhile, AUSTRAC's announcement that it would be taking a closer look at NAB and casino operators' for money laundering breaches obviously wasn't received favourably - NAB down 3.2%, Crown Resorts down 1.5% and Star Entertainment down 2%.
