據路透社4月19日報道,澳洲股市周一收平,因能源和科技板塊的下跌抹去了礦業板塊稍早的提振,而旅游類股則得到些許喘息的機會,因澳洲和新西蘭之間的旅游泡沫開始顯現。
S&P/ASX 200指數收于7065.6點。能源類股下跌1.4%,因印度等國新冠肺炎感染病例激增,油價暴跌。伍德賽德石油下跌近2%,桑托斯下跌1.3%。科技股下跌0.8%,Afterpay下跌近1%。
礦業指數上漲0.8%,鐵礦石和銅價保持堅挺。里約熱內盧Tinto上漲1.7%,Fortescue metals Group上漲1.8%。
鋰礦商Orocobre股價飆升5.7%,此前該公司宣布將以14億美元收購規模較小的國內同行Galaxy Resources,以打造全球第五大最有價值的鋰生產商。要知道,鋰是電動汽車電池的關鍵原材料。
與此同時,數百名來自澳大利亞的乘客周一開始抵達新西蘭機場,因為兩國之間開放邊境,新西蘭允許澳大利亞居民飛越塔斯曼海,無需隔離。
旅游類股小幅走高,Helloworld Travel上漲2.4%,Sydney Airport Holdings上漲0.5%。
FP Markets亞太地區首席執行官Nick Twidale表示:“由于新冠肺炎疫情,旅游業遭受了沉重打擊,現在幸存下來的旅行社對大多數人來說開始顯得很有價值。但旅游業要想真正復蘇,并表現得接近疫情爆發前的水平,我們需要世界其他地區通過更好的疫苗推廣進程來擺脫疫情。”
新西蘭基準S&P/NZX 50指數上漲0.7%,至12767.83點,奧克蘭機場(Auckland Airport)漲幅最大,該指數上漲了4.7%。

Australia shares end flat as oil prices weigh on energy stocks
Australian shares closed flat on Monday as losses among energy and technology sectors erased an early mining boost, while tourism-related stocks found some respite as a travel bubble between Australia and New Zealand kicked off.
The S&P/ASX 200 index closed flat at 7,065.6.
Energy stocks slipped 1.4% as oil prices slumped amid a surge in COVID-19 infections in India and other countries. Woodside Petroleum fell nearly 2% while Santos lost 1.3%.
Technology stocks shed 0.8%, with buy-now-pay-later heavyweight Afterpay losing nearly 1%.
The mining index rose 0.8% as ironore and copper prices held firm. Rio Tinto gained 1.7% while Fortescue metals Group added 1.8%.
Orocobre soared 5.7% after the lithium miner said it was buying smaller domestic peer Galaxy Resources for $1.4 billion to create the world’s fifth-most valuable producer of the key raw material for electric vehicle batteries.
Meanwhile, hundreds of passengers from Australia began arriving in New Zealand airports on Monday, as open-border system between the countries allows Australia residents to fly across Tasman Sea without having to quarantine.
Travel stocks edged higher, with Helloworld Travel advancing 2.4% and Sydney Airport Holdings rising 0.5%.
“The travel industry took a hit last year due to the pandemic and the ones that survived now started to look of good value to most people,” FP Markets - APAC Chief Executive Officer Nick Twidale said.
“But for the travel sector to really pick up and be performing anywhere near like last year, we need the rest of the world to come out of the pandemic, with better vaccine rollouts,” he added.
New Zealand’s benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index was up 0.7% at 12,767.83, with Auckland Airport gaining the most after rising 4.7%.
