Australian shares faced a choppy session on Thursday, following their European and US peers as weak jobs data from both regions weighed on investor sentiment. Australia's benchmark S&P ASX 200 fell 0.16% or 6.90 points and closed at 4,429.00. Weaker commodity prices put negative pressure on miners. Rio Tinto fell 1.1% and Fortescue Metals Group shed 0.9%. On the upside National Australia Bank added 0.40% after cutting its standard variable mortgage rate yesterday.
