标准普尔/澳交所200指数周四收平,收于9033点,扭转了早盘的跌势,能源公司的强势抵消了重量级矿商和银行的疲软。原油价格飙升推动能源板块上涨3.2%,达到近一个月来的最高水平,伍德赛德在为路易斯安那州液化天然气项目获得额外资金后上涨4.3%。其较小的同行桑托斯公布了2.2%的稳健增长。与此同时,金融类股下跌0.8%,结束了三个交易日的连胜,因获利回吐拖累所有主要银行走低。在资源方面,尽管金价疲软,但金矿商收复了一些失地,收盘上涨1.5%,而矿业巨头必和必拓股价下跌1.2%,此前管理层警告称,监管挑战可能迫使对煤炭业务采取强硬措施。其竞争对手Fortescue的表现优于其他公司,上涨2.7%,这得益于创纪录的铁矿石出货量。
The S&P/ASX 200 finished nearly flat at 9,033 on Thursday, reversing losses from the earlier session, as strength in energy firms countered weakness in heavyweight miners and banks. A surge in crude prices boosted the energy sector 3.2% to its strongest level in almost a month, with Woodside advancing 4.3% after securing additional funding for its Louisiana LNG project. Its smaller peer Santos posted a solid 2.2% rise. Meanwhile, financial stocks fell 0.8%, snapping their three-session winning streak as profit-taking dragged all major lenders lower. In resources, gold miners clawed back some ground, ending 1.5% higher, despite softer bullion prices, while mining giant BHP dipped 1.2% after management warned that regulatory challenges could force tough calls on coal operations. Its rival Fortescue outperformed, up 2.7%, supported by record iron ore shipments.
