标准普尔/澳交所200指数周五下跌0.5%,至7845点左右,回吐了前一交易日的一些涨幅,并从华尔街隔夜的微弱领先中得到线索,主要股指从历史高点小幅回落。投资者还谨慎地等待中国的一系列经济数据,以评估澳大利亚最大贸易伙伴的状况。金融股领跌,英联邦银行(-0.8%)、澳大利亚国家银行(-0.80%)、麦格理集团(-1.3%)、澳新银行集团(-0.5%)和西太平洋银行(-0.6%)跌幅居前。医疗保健、消费和科技股也大幅下跌。与此同时,包括必和必拓集团(0.9%)、力拓(0.9%)和Fortescue(0.7%)在内的重量级矿商因铁矿石价格走强而上涨。尽管如此,基准指数本周仍有望上涨超过1%,将连胜势头延续至连续第四周。
The S&P/ASX 200 Index slipped 0.5% to around 7,845 on Friday, giving back some gains from the previous session and taking cues from a weak lead on Wall Street overnight as major averages retreated slightly from record highs. Investors also cautiously awaited a slew of Chinese economic data to assess the state of Australia’s largest trading partner. Financial stocks led the decline, with losses from Commonwealth Bank (-0.8%), National Australia Bank (-0.8%), Macquarie Group (-1.3%), ANZ Group (-0.5%) and Westpac Banking (-0.6%). Healthcare, consumer and technology stocks also slumped. Meanwhile, heavyweight miners advanced on firmer iron ore prices, including BHP Group (0.9%), Rio Tinto (0.9%) and Fortescue (0.7%). Still, the benchmark index is on track to gain more than 1% this week extending a winning streak to fourth consecutive week.
