澳交所前瞻:美伊紧张局势升级,澳股或将下跌;西太平洋银行公布上财年经调整后盈利及净营业收入均有所增长

By

-- 周二,受美伊冲突再度升级以及霍尔木兹海峡附近袭击事件冲击全球市场、推高油价并加剧对关键能源运输通道中断担忧的影响,澳大利亚股市预计将下跌。 隔夜,标普500指数、纳斯达克综合指数和道琼斯工业平均指数分别下跌0.4%、0.2%和1.1%。 宏观经济方面,标普全球周二发布的月度调查显示,4月份澳大利亚服务业活动略微回升,企业增加了招聘和产出,但受中东紧张局势影响而推高燃油成本的持续通胀继续抑制新订单,并令企业信心低迷。 澳大利亚储备银行将于悉尼时间下午2:30公布货币政策决定。 企业新闻方面,西太平洋银行(ASX:WBC)周二公布,其上半年财年净利润为112.8亿澳元,不计重大项目,每股收益为1.014澳元;而去年同期,每股收益为0.998澳元,净利润为109.9亿澳元。 雷吉斯资源公司(ASX:RRL)同意收购沃特矿业公司(ASX:VAU),双方将进行平等合并,合并后将打造一家市值约107亿澳元的大型黄金生产商。 澳大利亚基准股指周一下跌0.4%,或32.7点,收于8697.10点。
