标准普尔/澳交所200指数周五上涨0.4%，至8950点左右，延续了前一交易日1.1%的涨势，科技和医疗保健股领涨，有望创下7月中旬以来的最佳单周涨幅。华尔街的强劲领先提振了该指数，因为对人工智能贸易的乐观情绪超过了对美国政府关门的担忧，推动美国基准指数创下新高。在国内，最新数据显示，9月份澳大利亚服务业连续第20个月增长，但增速为6月份以来的最低水平。回到交易所，科技股上涨0.7%，追随美国同行上涨，Xero Ltd（0.6%）领涨，而医疗保健股上涨0.6%，达到两周高点。矿业巨头力拓和莱纳斯稀土也分别上涨1.2%和3%。与此同时，黄金股下跌至1.3%，结束了为期五天的反弹，但随着金价回落，金价仍有望连续第二周上涨7.5%。主要板块北极星下跌2.1%，进化矿业下跌1.7%。

The S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.4% to around 8,950 on Friday, extending its 1.1% rally from the previous session, lifted by tech and healthcare stocks, and on track for its best weekly gain since mid-July. A strong lead from Wall Street boosted the index, as optimism over AI trade outweighed concerns about the US government shutdown, driving US benchmarks to new highs. Domestically, latest data showed Australia’s services sector grew for a 20th straight month in September, though at its slowest pace since June. Back on the bourse, tech stocks, up 0.7%, tracked their US peers higher, led by Xero Ltd (0.6%), while healthcare extended gains by 0.6% to a two-week high. Mining giants Rio Tinto and Lynas Rare Earths also climbed 1.2% and 3%, respectively. Meanwhile, gold stocks fell up to 1.3%, snapping a five-day rally, but remained on track for a 7.5% weekly gain, their second straight, as bullion prices eased. Sector major Northern Star slipped 2.1% while Evolution Mining lost 1.7%.
