The Australian share market has finished higher for a second day as gains by the financial and tech sectors outweighed a big sell-off among goldminers and smaller losses for coalminers and uranium companies.

The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index on Tuesday finished 34.3 points higher at 7,683.5, a gain of 0.45 per cent, while the broader All Ordinaries rose 35.9 points, or 0.45 per cent, to 7,937.9.
