3 Min Read June 28 (Reuters) - Australian shares fell on Monday, weighed down by banking and technology stocks, as investors fretted tighter lockdown curbs after the country over the weekend reported one of the highest numbers for locally acquired coronavirus cases this year. The S&P/ASX 200 index was down 0.3% at 7,286 points, as of 0026 GMT. The benchmark closed 0.5% higher on Friday. Sydney began a two-week lockdown on Sunday as the Bondi neighbourhood cluster of the highly infectious coronavirus Delta variant rose to 110 in Australia’s largest city, while an outbreak in the northern city of Darwin prompted a hard two-day stay-at-home order.
