Best Answer

The Australian stock marketcrash was caused by the financial crisis. Due to the bad economic situation, the liquidity in the markets was severely affected. People were running short of cash badly. Hence they started liquidating their stock holdings to raise cash and when millions of people started selling their stocks, panic struck and the Stock Market crashed.
