标准普尔/澳交所200指数周五微涨0.1%,至7925点左右,延续了前一交易日的涨幅,重量级零售商领涨。Woolworths和Coles分别飙升5.1%和3.4%,此前澳大利亚监管机构将其列为全球最赚钱的超市之一。澳大利亚竞争与消费者委员会(ACCC)也指出,尽管货架价格迅速上涨,但两家公司都从更大的利润率中受益。与此同时,在缺乏新的市场催化剂的情况下,包括采矿、能源和金融股在内的其他关键行业也在苦苦挣扎。尽管如此,基准指数仍有望实现近2%的周涨幅,有望打破四周的连败。市场情绪受到美联储今年两次降息信号的支撑,以及美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔关于关税驱动的通货膨胀可能是“暂时的”的保证
The S&P/ASX 200 Index edged up 0.1% to around 7,925 on Friday, extending gains from the previous session, with heavyweight retailers leading the advance. Woolworths and Coles surged 5.1% and 3.4%, respectively, after Australian regulators identified them as among the most profitable supermarkets globally. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) also noted that both companies have benefited from wider profit margins despite rapidly rising shelf prices. Meanwhile, other key sectors, including mining, energy, and financial stocks, struggled for momentum amid a lack of fresh market catalysts. Still, the benchmark index remains on track for a nearly 2% weekly gain, poised to break a four-week losing streak. Market sentiment was supported by the US Federal Reserve’s signal of two interest rate cuts this year, along with Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s reassurances that tariff-driven inflation is likely "transitory."
