标准普尔/澳交所200指数周三下跌0.7%,收于8819点,扭转了前一交易日的涨势,受银行和矿商拖累,因为市场在就业数据可能指导澳大利亚储备银行的政策前景之前变得谨慎。乐观的国内数据,包括近两年来最快的经济增长,使市场认为澳大利亚储备银行本月降息的可能性仅为20%。现在的焦点转移到周四的就业报告上,最近强劲的数据使9月份的裁员机会保持在较低水平,11月份的裁员人数减少了70%。在全球范围内,投资者等待美联储当天晚些时候的政策决定,其中25个基点的降息(2025年的第一次)已完全消化,而注意力则集中在进一步宽松的信号的更新点图上。回到悉尼,利率敏感型金融股下跌0.7%,行业巨头澳大利亚国民银行(-1.1%)和西太平洋银行(0.7%)领跌。由于大宗商品价格疲软,权重矿商也下跌了近1%,必和必拓在宣布计划暂停运营并在昆士兰州一家炼焦煤矿裁员750人后下跌了1.1%。
The S&P/ASX 200 dropped 0.7% to finish at 8,819 on Wednesday, reversing the prior session's gains, dragged by banks and miners, as markets turned cautious ahead of jobs data that could guide the RBA’s policy outlook. Upbeat domestic data, including the fastest economic growth in nearly two years, has markets pricing just 20% odds of an RBA cut this month. Focus now shifts to Thursday’s jobs report, with strong recent data keeping September cut chances low and November easing bets at 70%. Globally, investors await the Federal Reserve’s policy decision later in the day, with a 25bps cut—the first of 2025—fully priced in, while attention centers on the updated dot plot for signals on further easing. Back in Sydney, rate-sensitive financials declined 0.7%, led by sector majors NAB (-1.1%) and Westpac (0.7%). Heavyweight miners also slipped nearly 1% on weaker commodity prices, with BHP down 1.1% after announcing plans to suspend operations and cut 750 jobs at a Queensland coking coal mine.
