标准普尔/澳交所200指数周三收于8926点的两周低点,下跌近1%,自10月15日以来首次跌破关键的9000点大关,因为通胀加剧抑制了澳大利亚储备银行近期降息的希望。9月份月度CPI同比上涨3.5%,高于8月份的3%,高于3.1%的预测,为2024年7月以来的最高水平。核心通货膨胀率也比预期的要高,削减后的平均CPI比上一季度上涨1%,每年上涨3%。市场现在认为,11月4日降息25个基点的可能性从40%降至8%,而12月的可能性从47%降至22%以下。这些数据引发了利率敏感行业的广泛抛售,包括金融业,该行业下跌约1.9%,四大银行领跌。房地产股也下跌了约1.7%,受行业权重股嘉民集团的拖累,而医疗保健股则因CSL下跌约4%而将跌幅延续至第二个交易日。
The S&P/ASX 200 closed at a two-week low of 8,926 on Wednesday, down nearly 1% and slipping below the key 9,000 mark for the first time since October 15, as hotter inflation dampened hopes of an RBA near-term rate cut. The monthly CPI rose 3.5% year-on-year in September, up from 3% in August and above forecasts of 3.1%, marking the highest since July 2024. Core inflation also rose more than expected, with the trimmed mean CPI up 1% from the previous quarter and 3% annually. Markets now see just an 8% chance of a 25bps cut on November 4, down from 40%, while December odds have fallen below 22% from 47%. The data sparked broad selling in rate-sensitive sectors, including financials, which slid about 1.9%, led by the Big Four Banks. Real estate stocks also fell roughly 1.7%, weighed by sector heavyweight Goodman Group, while healthcare extended losses into a second session as CSL slipped about 4%.
