标准普尔/澳交所200指数周三下跌0.2%,至8520点左右,这是连续第二个交易日下跌,地缘政治风险上升,国内主要劳动力数据公布前持谨慎态度。伊朗-以色列冲突已进入第六天,据报道,美国总统特朗普考虑对伊朗领导人发动袭击,并要求“无条件投降”,这引发了人们对更广泛的地区升级的担忧。在国内,交易员等待周四公布的5月劳动力数据,这可能会对澳大利亚储备银行的政策前景产生重大影响——疲软的数据可能会助长降息的希望,而强劲的就业增长可能会推迟宽松措施。在企业方面,权重矿商领跌,该子指数下跌1.5%,至一个月低点,因中东紧张局势导致铜价下跌。矿业巨头必和必拓集团下跌1.2%,铁矿石生产商力拓下跌0.4%。黄金股也因获利回吐而下跌0.8%。相比之下,能源股在油价飙升的支撑下上涨,伍德赛德和桑托斯各上涨0.8%。
The S&P/ASX 200 fell 0.2% to around 8,520 on Wednesday, marking its second straight session of losses amid rising geopolitical risks and caution ahead of key domestic labor data. The Iran-Israel conflict entered its sixth day, with US President Trump reportedly considering a strike on Iran’s leader and demanding “unconditional surrender,” raising fears of a wider regional escalation. Domestically, traders await the May labor data due Thursday, which could significantly impact the RBA policy outlook—a soft print may fuel hopes for a rate cut, while strong employment gains could delay easing measures. On the corporate side, heavyweight miners led losses, with the sub-index down 1.5% to a one-month low as copper prices slipped on Middle East tensions. Mining giant BHP Group dropped 1.2%, while iron ore producer Rio Tinto slid 0.4%. Gold stocks also fell 0.8% amid profit-taking. In contrast, energy stocks rose, supported by a surge in oil prices, as Woodside and Santos each advanced 0.8%.
