标准普尔/澳交所200指数周五下跌0.2%,收于8506点,标志着连续第四个交易日下跌,创下两周新低。该指数本周也下跌了0.5%,结束了连续五周的上涨,因为中东紧张局势的加剧继续给全球市场带来压力。投资者现在正在为美国可能在两周内做出的决定做准备,因为特朗普总统正在权衡对伊朗的潜在直接打击。与此同时,中国央行保持贷款最优惠利率不变,通过政策稳定为市场情绪提供适度支持。在国内,一份喜忧参半的就业报告几乎没有改变预期,7月份澳大利亚储备银行降息的可能性仍为75%。市场现在等待即将公布的PMI数据,以获得对澳大利亚经济健康状况的新见解。在企业方面,由于中国钢铁产量下降,主要铁矿石矿商领跌,如Fortescue(-0.5%)和力拓(-1.3%)。金融股也面临压力,下跌0.7%。另一方面,能源和黄金股提供了支撑。
The S&P/ASX 200 fell 0.2% to close at 8,506 on Friday, marking its fourth straight session of losses and a two-week low. The index also declined 0.5% for the week, ending a five-week winning streak, as rising Middle East tensions continued to weigh on global markets. Investors are now bracing for a possible US decision within two weeks, as President Trump weighs a potential direct strike on Iran. Meanwhile, China’s central bank left its loan prime rates unchanged, offering modest support to sentiment through policy stability. At home, a mixed jobs report did little to shift expectations, with a July RBA rate cut still priced at a 75% probability. Markets now await upcoming PMI figures for fresh insight over Australia’s economic health. On the corporate front, major iron ore miners led losses, such as Fortescue (-0.5%) and Rio Tinto (-1.3%), amid a drop in Chinese steel production. Financials also came under pressure, down 0.7%. On the flip side, energy and gold stocks provided support.
