Aug 10, 2005 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Resources and property helped the Australian sharemarket close at another record high on 10 August 2005. The best-performing stock was gold and copper miner, Oxiana, largely due to talk of a possible takeover bid by Xstrata. The S&P/ASX 200 index ended the session 7.8 points up at 4,425.6, while the All Ordinaries gained 10.3 points to close at 4,384.8. The banking sector closed slightly weaker expect for ANZ, but this was offset by gains by BHP Billiton and Westfield.
