澳洲證券交易所前瞻:伊朗與美國停火協議維持,澳洲股市可望上漲;DPM Metals公佈第一季調整後獲利和營收均成長

By

-- 週三,澳洲股市預計將上漲,中東供應中斷擔憂緩解,以及伊朗和美國停火仍處於可控範圍內的跡象,提振了全球風險情緒。儘管霍爾木茲海峽週邊的緊張局勢和間歇性襲擊仍令能源市場保持警惕。 隔夜,標普500指數、那斯達克指數和道瓊工業指數分別上漲0.8%、1%和0.7%。 澳洲工業集團週三表示,儘管4月工業活動反彈9.8個百分點,但總體而言仍處於萎縮狀態。製造業和建築業持續疲軟,以及燃料價格上漲帶來的成本壓力,抵銷了訂單和就業市場早期出現的穩定跡象。 公司新聞方面,DPM Metals(ASX:DPM)週三公佈,第一季調整後每股收益為0.76澳元,營收為3.104億澳元,而去年同期調整後每股收益為0.32澳元,營收為1.441億澳元。 Atlas Arteria(ASX:ALX)的獨立董事一致敦促股東拒絕IFM的收購要約,稱其為投機取巧、附加條件過多,且嚴重低估了公司的資產和長期價值。 澳洲基準股指週二下跌0.2%,或16.6點,收在8,680.50點。
