NAB announced restructuring plans including up to 2500 job cuts over the next year, while BHP reported weaker than expected first quarter copper production due to disruptions at a Chilean mine. Energy stocks also fell as global oil prices eased, though consumer staples and healthcare sectors showed strength. This market update is sponsored by CommSec.
