周五,标准普尔/澳交所200指数上涨0.3%,收于8435点,扭转了早些时候的跌势,因为令人失望的经济数据增强了人们对澳大利亚储备银行继续放松货币政策的预期。4月份零售额意外环比下降0.1%,低于0.3%的增长预期,扭转了上月的增长趋势。此外,建筑许可证的下降幅度超过预期,加深了人们对国内经济降温的担忧。与此同时,在全球贸易紧张局势不断升级的情况下,投资者仍持谨慎态度。美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特表示,美国上诉法院恢复了唐纳德·特朗普总统的互惠关税,推翻了之前的联邦法院裁决,而美中贸易谈判仍停滞不前。在企业方面,联邦银行(+1.1%)、北极星资源公司(+2.7%)和财政部葡萄酒庄园(+4%)的收益显著。本周,ASX 200指数上涨0.88%,这是七周来的第六次上涨。
The S&P/ASX 200 Index rose 0.3% to close at 8,435 on Friday, reversing earlier losses as disappointing economic data reinforced expectations for continued monetary policy easing by the Reserve Bank of Australia. Retail sales unexpectedly declined 0.1% month-on-month in April, missing forecasts for a 0.3% gain and reversing the prior month’s increase. Additionally, building permits fell more than anticipated, deepening concerns about a cooling domestic economy. Meanwhile, investor caution persisted amid escalating global trade tensions. A US appeals court reinstated President Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs, overturning a previous federal court decision, while US-China trade talks remained stalled, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. On the corporate front, notable gains came from Commonwealth Bank (+1.1%), Northern Star Resources (+2.7%), and Treasury Wine Estates (+4%). For the week, the ASX 200 advanced 0.88%, marking its sixth gain in seven weeks.
