标准普尔/澳交所200指数周三上涨0.1%,至8160点左右,打破了连续两天的下跌,因为有报道称,美国高级官员本周将与中国同行会面,这引发了人们对美中潜在贸易谈判的乐观情绪,提振了全球的情绪。在国内方面,数据显示,4月份澳大利亚工业部门持续疲软,贸易和选举相关的不确定性严重影响了制造业,特别是在出口暴露地区。在企业新闻方面,澳大利亚国民银行在公布好于预期的上半年现金收益后飙升3.7%。相反,麦格理集团下跌0.1%,此前监管机构对其银行部门因重大合规违规行为采取了新的执法行动。在其他地方,矿业和能源股普遍上涨,而黄金相关股则面临压力。
The S&P/ASX 200 Index rose 0.1% to around 8,160 on Wednesday, breaking a two-day decline as reports that top US officials are set to meet with their Chinese counterparts this week raised optimism about potential US-China trade negotiations, boosting sentiment globally. On the domestic front, data showed continued weakness in Australia’s industrial sector in April, with trade and election-related uncertainties weighing heavily on manufacturing, particularly in export-exposed areas. In corporate news, National Australia Bank surged 3.7% after posting better-than-expected first-half cash earnings.
