 The Australian share market has reversed earlier gains. Right now, the All Ordinaries index is down around half of a per cent, as is the ASX 200 index. The banks are weaker. Insurance, like QBE insurance, are on the rise. Mining stocks are down. The gold miner Newcrest is off around 3 per cent. And Telstra is also on a decline. Across the region, Japan's Nikkei has shed more than  one per cent, but stocks in Hong Kong are edging up. And in the US, strong employment and business activity figures pointed to resilience in the US economy. And added to the case, the US Federal Reserve will taper stimulus later this month. As a result, the Australian dollar has been falling against the strengthening greenback. But it's making some ground this afternoon to 91.31 US cents.
