The index has declined 10.5 per cent since the start of the year. The All Ordinaries index also retreated 1.4 per cent, or 94.3 points, to 6854.3.
All 11 sectors on the index fell with energy and materials leading losses, even as oil prices bounced higher. Brent futures rose 0.9 per cent to $US92.44 a barrel and West Texas Intermediate crude edged up 0.8 per cent to $US86.32/bbl. Investors had hoped for an easing in restrictions which has caused damage to the Asian giant economy.
