标准普尔/澳交所200指数周五下跌0.9%,收于8662点,延续了前一交易日的跌幅,本周下跌0.1%,为第二周下跌。在美国总统特朗普宣布对十几个贸易伙伴征收10%至41%的新关税后,风险偏好减弱,引发了广泛的抛售。澳大利亚免除了更高的关税,贸易部长唐·法雷尔证实,美国对澳大利亚的出口保持了10%的基准,这是所有国家中最低的,并指出澳大利亚对美国的持续贸易顺差是谈判的关键因素。然而,澳大利亚也未能幸免于更广泛的避险情绪推动澳交所走低。跌幅最大的是医疗保健类股,生物科技巨头CSL领跌(-2.6%),而金融类股下跌1.1%,四大银行下跌超过1%。科技股也下跌2.3%,反映了华尔街在重新审查收益和经济数据时的下跌。在数据方面,第二季度生产者价格指数上涨0.7%,低于预期,加强了8月份的降息押注。
The S&P/ASX 200 dropped 0.9% to end at 8,662 on Friday, extending the prior session’s losses and falling 0.1% for the week—its second weekly decline. A broad-based sell-off took hold as risk appetite weakened after US President Trump unveiled new tariffs of 10% to 41% on a dozen of trading partners. Australia was spared steeper duties, with Trade Minister Don Farrell confirming the US kept its 10% baseline on Australian exports—the lowest among all nations—citing Australia’s consistent trade surplus with the US as a key factor in negotiations. However, Australia was not immune to the broader risk-off sentiment driving the ASX lower. Among top decliners were healthcare stocks, led by biotech giant CSL (-2.6%), while financials dropped 1.1%, with the Big Four banks down over 1%. Tech stocks also fell 2.3%, mirroring Wall Street losses amid renewed scrutiny of earnings and economic data. On the data front, producer prices rose 0.7% in Q2, below forecasts, reinforcing August rate cut bets.
