亚洲市场连续上涨了一个星期,终于在周四停下了势头,投资者都想知道,英国的利率决策是否会阻止股票进一步上涨。
日本日经指数的表现仍然最为突出,单日上涨0.4%,本周内上涨7.7%。投资者希望财政刺激政策能够驱使基准指数回到正常轨道。
游戏公司任天堂的股价仍在上涨之中,现实增强游戏“皮卡丘 Go”发布后,公司股价暴涨9.8%。这使得任天堂股价在一周内上涨了50%。任天堂持有少数现实增强游戏的股份。
但亚洲市场的增长势头正逐渐消散。英国货币政策委员会将在周四亚洲市场收盘后发布决策,所以投资者们都提高了警惕。
盛宝资本市场高级销售员 Tareck Horchani 表示:“此次会议极有可能决定未来的市场走势。市场价格将会下调。”
在其他亚太地区,澳大利亚标普200指数上涨0.2%,韩国综合指数下降0.2%,香港恒生指数下跌0.1%。上证综合指数下跌0.3%,新加坡海峡时报指数下跌0.1%。
在原油价格下跌后,香港、中国大陆及澳大利亚地区的能源股票皆有下滑。美国原油价格骤跌,突破两个月以来的最低点,而此前美国原油库存及石油产品的储备也突破了新高。布伦特原油在亚洲市场的交易价为每桶46.67美元。
与此同时,马来西亚七年以来首次削减了隔夜利息,股票立刻开始下跌。马来西亚交易所富时 KLCI 指数下跌了0.3%。
在其他的市场,亚洲某些国家的政府债券呈上涨趋势,这也是全球央行采取新的宽松政策的预兆。澳大利亚十年期债券的收益下滑至1.92%,而马来西亚十年期债券收益则下滑至3.56%。债券价格下跌,收益也随之减少。
Asian market rally grinds to a halt
A week-long rally across Asian stocks hit the brakes Thursday, with investors waiting to see whether the Bank of England’s interest-rate decision would make or break further equity gains.
Japan’s Nikkei Stock Average NIK, +0.84% remained the biggest outperformer in the region, gaining 0.4% to add to its 7.7% ascent this week. Investors’ hopes for fiscal-stimulus policies helped set the benchmark on track to scoring its best weekly performance so far this year.
Shares of videogame maker Nintendo Co. 7974, +18.32% continued to soar, rising 9.8% on the craze around its “Pokémon Go” app. That brings Nintendo’s total gain this week to more 50%. Nintendo has a minority stake in the augmented-reality game.
But the euphoria in Asian equities from earlier in the week mostly dissipated on Thursday as investors stayed more cautious before the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee meets after Asian markets close.
The meeting “will probably will be the deciding factor on how the markets will react later today,” said Tareck Horchani, a senior sales trader at Saxo Capital Markets in Singapore. “The market is pricing a cut.”
In the rest of the Asia-Pacific region, Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 XJO, +0.31% was up 0.2%, Korea’s Kospi SEU, +0.02% was down 0.2% and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index HSI, +0.12% edged down 0.1%. China’s Shanghai Composite Index lost 0.3%, and Singapore’s Straits Times Index STI, -0.12% was off 0.1%.
Energy shares in Hong Kong, China and Australia sank after crude oil prices slumped overnight. U.S. oil prices plummeted to a two-month low after data showed U.S. inventories of crude oil and refined products were at a record high. Brent was recently trading at $46.67 per barrel in early Asia trade.
Meanwhile, Malaysian stocks fell after the country’s central bank on Wednesday unexpectedly cut the overnight policy rate for the first time in seven years. The FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI was last down 0.3%.
In other markets, some sovereign Asian government bonds rallied, in another sign of investors’ anticipation of fresh policy easing by global central banks. The yield on the 10-year Australian note slipped to 1.92%, while the yield on the 10-year Malaysian note sank to 3.56%. Yields sink when bond prices rise.
