周四,标准普尔/澳交所200指数小幅下跌0.04%,收于8323点,扭转了早些时候的涨势,追随全球市场下跌。在英伟达的盈利报告未能提供预期的提振后,市场情绪受到抑制,而不断升级的地缘政治担忧,特别是关于俄罗斯-乌克兰冲突的担忧,进一步扰乱了金融市场。投资者现在期待着周五澳大利亚的制造业和服务业活动数据,这将为国内经济的健康状况提供见解。主要指数成分股出现显著下跌,包括Wesfarmers(-1.4%)、Pilbara Minerals(-3.1%)和James Hardie Industries(-2.4%)。在企业新闻方面,持有印度阿达尼集团近20%股份的GCQ Partners股价暴跌19.3%,此前高塔姆·阿达尼在美国被指控贿赂和欺诈。
The S&P/ASX 200 Index inched down 0.04% to close at 8,323 on Thursday, reversing earlier gains and tracking global markets lower. Market sentiment was dampened after Nvidia's earnings report failed to provide the anticipated boost, while escalating geopolitical concerns, particularly regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict, further rattled financial markets. Investors are now looking ahead to Friday's manufacturing and services activity data for Australia, which will provide insights into the health of the domestic economy. Notable losses were seen among major index components, including Wesfarmers (-1.4%), Pilbara Minerals (-3.1%), and James Hardie Industries (-2.4%). In corporate news, GCQ Partners, which holds a near 20% stake in India’s Adani Group, saw its shares plunge 19.3% following the indictment of Gautam Adani in the US on charges of bribery and fraud.
