ASX 200指数周一早盘上涨23点,涨幅0.3%,至8276点,连续第四个交易日上涨。此前,美国财政部长贝森特和贸易代表格里尔将最近与中国的会谈描述为缩小4000亿美元贸易逆差的建设性一步。地缘政治紧张局势的缓和也提振了市场情绪,印度和巴基斯坦之间维持着脆弱的停火,乌克兰总统泽连斯基表示愿意本周晚些时候在土耳其会见俄罗斯普京。随着油价进一步上涨,能源股领涨,上涨近2%,达到一个月高点。伍德赛德能源上涨1.5%,桑托斯上涨2.2%。其他显著的推动因素包括必和必拓(1.6%)、西太平洋银行(1.0%)和联邦银行(0.8%)。然而,在本周晚些时候澳大利亚4月劳动力市场数据公布之前,谨慎的态度限制了上行空间。在主要贸易伙伴中国,4月份消费者价格连续第三个月下跌,反映出需求持续疲软、贸易风险增加和就业不安全。
The ASX 200 rose 23 points or 0.3% to 8,276 in Monday morning trade, gaining for the fourth session. The advance came after U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent and Trade Representative Greer described recent talks with China as a constructive step toward reducing the $400 billion trade gap. Easing geopolitical tensions also lifted sentiment, with a fragile ceasefire holding between India and Pakistan, and Ukrainian President Zelenskiy showing willingness to meet Russia’s Putin in Turkey later this week. Energy stocks led gains, up near 2% to a one-month top as oil prices rose further. Woodside Energy surged 1.5%, and Santos gained 2.2%. Among other notable movers were BHP (1.6%), Westpac (1.0%), and Commonwealth Bank (0.8%). However, the upside was capped by caution ahead of Australia’s April labor market data due later this week. In major trading partner China, consumer prices fell for the third month in April, reflecting persistently weak demand, growing trade risks, and job insecurity.
