-- 根據澳新銀行研究部週二發布的報告,澳新銀行世界商品價格指數4月較上季下跌0.8%,乳製品價格波動劇烈,尤其是奶油和無水乳脂。 乳製品價格當月季減3.8%,較去年同期下跌7.5%,反映全球供應強勁。全球供應前景顯示價格有下行趨勢,但中東衝突暫時中斷了這個趨勢。 同時,肉類和纖維價格指數較上季僅上漲0.2%。牛肉價格略有下降,但羊肉和羊毛價格上漲。紐西蘭供應的季節性成長對當地價格造成了輕微壓力,但強勁的需求推高了海外價格。 園藝價格指數4月持平,首批蘋果和金奇異果的大宗貨物剛抵達海外市場。 林業價格指數4月上漲7.1%,年增9.2%,部分原因是生產和運輸成本上升。 鋁價季增6.3%,創下歷史新高,較去年飆升約51%。 3月份,阿聯酋一家大型鋁冶煉廠受損,導致全球供應趨緊。中東地區約佔全球鋁產量的8%至9%。
