-- 受霍爾木茲海峽航運遇襲、美國燃料庫存意外下降、伊朗和美國之間地緣政治緊張局勢再度升級以及停火前景不明朗等因素引發的供應中斷擔憂影響,隔夜油價飆升逾3%,澳大利亞股市週四或將下跌。 隔夜,標普500指數、那斯達克指數和道瓊工業指數分別上漲1.1%、1.6%和0.7%。 標普全球週四發布的一項調查顯示,在宏觀經濟方面,澳洲私部門活動在3月下滑後於4月企穩。服務業的溫和復甦被製造業的持續疲軟所抵消,製造業疲軟的原因是國內需求疲軟、成本壓力上升以及與中東緊張局勢相關的供應鏈中斷。 公司新聞方面,Regis Resources(ASX:RRL)公佈,截至3月31日的第三財季,黃金產量為90,592盎司,綜合維持成本為每盎司2,807澳元,而去年同期產量為89,666盎司,綜合維持成本為每盎司2,538澳元。 Temple & Webster(ASX:TPW)宣布,共同創辦人兼執行長(CEO)Mark Coulter將轉任執行主席,Susie Sugden將於7月1日正式就任公司下一任CEO。 澳洲基準股指週三下跌1.2%,或105.8點,收在8,843.60點。
