标准普尔/澳交所200指数周五下跌0.3%,至8310点以下,延续了前一交易日的跌幅,金融、科技和医疗保健股领跌。在美国关键的就业报告公布之前,投资者情绪变得谨慎,这可能会影响美联储今年的货币政策决定。周四,在美联储最新会议纪要公布后,全球股市也面临压力,该纪要表明,在通胀担忧再次出现的情况下,政策放松的步伐可能会放缓。在国内,市场对澳大利亚储备银行是否会在2月份采取行动仍存在分歧,尽管4月份降息25个基点的价格已完全消化。值得注意的损失包括联邦银行(-0.9%)、阿彭银行(-6.1%)和Mesoblast银行(-5.1%)。然而,尽管出现了挫折,基准指数仍将每周上涨约0.5%。
The S&P/ASX 200 Index fell 0.3% to below 8,310 on Friday, extending losses from the previous session, with financial, technology and healthcare stocks leading the decline. Investor sentiment turned cautious ahead of a key US jobs report, which could influence the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decisions for the year. Global stocks also faced pressure on Thursday after the release of the latest Fed minutes, which suggested a potential slowdown in the pace of policy easing amid renewed inflation concerns. Domestically, markets remain divided on whether the Reserve Bank of Australia will act in February, though a quarter-point rate cut in April is fully priced in. Notable losses included Commonwealth Bank (-0.9%), Appen (-6.1%), and Mesoblast (-5.1%). However, despite the setbacks, the benchmark index is set to post a weekly gain of about 0.5%.
