-- 沙烏地阿拉伯交易所上市股票收高,投資人將目光轉向沙烏地阿拉伯公司最新財報以及備受矚目的聯準會週三利率決議。 週一收盤時,沙烏地阿拉伯證券交易所綜合指數上漲0.42%。拉比格煉油和石化公司(SASE:2380,又稱Petro Rabigh)和沙烏地阿拉伯卡揚石化公司(SASE:2350)領漲,收盤漲幅達9.96%。 市場普遍預期聯準會將維持利率在3.50%至3.75%的區間不變,市場觀察家希望從中尋找聯準會下一步利率和政策動向的線索。 牛津經濟研究院在一份報告中指出:「預計聯邦公開市場委員會下週將維持政策不變,因此我們將關注委員會對風險平衡的評估自3月中旬會議以來是否發生任何變化。由於沒有更新的經濟預測可供參考,因此,任何有關聯邦公開市場委員會成員想法變化的跡像都將來自政策聲明以及美聯儲主席傑羅姆·鮑威爾會後的新聞發布會。」 另據路透社引述巴基斯坦消息人士報道,伊朗提出了新的與美國和平談判方案。該方案包括保證美國不會再挑起衝突、結束封鎖等內容。 回到國內市場,沙烏地阿拉伯乳品和食品公司(Saudia Dairy and Foodstuff,股票代號:2270,簡稱Sadafco)和沙烏地阿拉伯塔達烏爾集團(Saudi Tadawul Group,股票代號:1111)公佈的2026年第一季財務業績均有所下滑。同時,阿拉伯水泥公司(Arabian Cement Co.,股票代號:3010)的淨利飆升153.81%,銷售額成長5.08%。 Sadafco和沙烏地阿拉伯塔達烏爾集團的股價分別下跌2.12%和3.68%,而阿拉伯水泥公司的股價則上漲3.57%。
