标准普尔/澳交所200指数周二上涨0.8%,至8730点,此前一个交易日表现疲软,投资者热切期待澳大利亚储备银行下周的货币政策决定。人们越来越期待央行降息25个基点,这将使8月12日的政策会议上的现金利率降至3.60%。随着6月份核心通胀率降至2.7%,宽松政策的理由越来越充分,远低于澳大利亚储备银行的2-3%目标。此外,失业率上升和工资增长放缓进一步提振了预期,市场预计降息的可能性接近95%。在数据方面,综合采购经理人指数攀升至2022年4月以来的最高水平,这得益于服务业的加速和制造业活动的恢复增长。矿业股继续表现强劲,必和必拓集团上涨1.1%,力拓集团上涨0.9%,Fortescue有限公司上涨1%。
The S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.8% to 8,730 on Tuesday, following a subdued performance in the previous session, as investors eagerly await the Reserve Bank of Australia's monetary policy decision next week. Expectations are growing for a 25 bps cut by the central bank, which would bring the cash rate down to 3.60% at its policy meeting on August 12. The case for easing has grown stronger as core inflation slowed to 2.7% in June, well within the RBA’s 2–3% target. Additionally, rising unemployment and weaker wage growth have further boosted expectations, with markets pricing in a near-95% chance of a rate cut. On the data front, the Composite PMI climbed to its highest level since April 2022, supported by an acceleration in the services sector and a return to growth in manufacturing activity. Mining stocks continued to perform strongly, with BHP Group rising 1.1%, Rio Tinto up 0.9%, and Fortescue Ltd advancing 1%.
