澳大利亚证券交易所S&P/ASX 200指数在早盘交易中下跌22.8点，跌幅为0.3%，收于8871.2点1。此轮下跌受到华尔街混合表现和国际油价下挫的拖累1。
国际能源市场波动剧烈，特朗普宣布美伊军事行动暂停以进行谈判后，油价大幅下跌1。西德州原油跌至82美元/桶以下，布伦特油价创下三个多月来最大跌幅，接近88美元1。在此背景下，能源股维瓦能源公司预期上半年EBITDA为7.7-7.8亿澳元，较上年同期的3.05亿澳元大幅增长，该股因此上涨3%以上1。
与此同时，美国总统特朗普呼吁美联储降低利率1。美联储定于本周三（美国时间）公布利率政策更新，市场预期美联储维持不变，上调利率概率为36%1。澳元兑美元跌幅为0.1%，报0.6986美元1。
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index declined 22.8 points, or 0.3%, to 8,871.2 in early trading.1 The drop was driven partly by mixed performance on Wall Street and a sharp fall in oil prices.1 West Texas crude plummeted below $82 per barrel following President Trump's announcement of a suspension in military operations between the United States and Iran to allow for negotiations, while Brent crude fell by its largest margin in over three months, approaching $88.1
Energy company Viva Energy surged more than 3% as Middle East tensions boosted its earnings outlook.1 The company raised its first-half EBITDA guidance to between A$770 million and A$780 million, a significant increase from A$305 million in the prior-year period.1 Meanwhile, the Australian dollar weakened 0.1% to $0.6986 against the US dollar.1
Separately, Trump renewed calls for the US Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, stating: "Rates should be lowered... We have other countries that are paying less interest rates."1 The Fed is scheduled to announce its policy decision on Wednesday (US time), with market expectations pointing to rates remaining unchanged, though there is a 36% probability of a rate increase priced in.1
