Australian shares fell in the opening minutes of trade, following declines in the US driven by lingering concerns of the long-term impact of the omicron strain. The S&P/ASX 200 index dropped 0.8 per cent, echoing the 1.2 per cent slide for the S&P 500 benchmark of US blue chips. Shares in Afterpay were the poorest performers among blue chips, down 4.8 per cent, after the company said it would delay a shareholder vote on its acquisition by Square following a delay in approval from the Bank of Spain.
