ASX 200 finishes the month in a sorry state closing down 56 points to 7026. Down 35 points for the week and up 3.5% for the month. ANZ slipped after a write down, BPT were dusted by a reserve downgrade falling 24% and Slattery's 3DP cratered by 19% as quarterlies and production reports weighed heavily today.
