The local share market has started the week on a losing note, dragged down in part by losses from the energy and materials sectors following a drop in commodity prices.
The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index on Monday dropped 59.1 points, or 0.76 per cent, to 7,763.2, while the broader All Ordinaries fell 57.9 points, or 0.72 per cent, to 8,012.2.
