新西兰基准s&P/NZX 50指数周三上涨0.3%,收于13568点,创历史最高收盘点位,此前储备银行出人意料地降息幅度大于预期,并表示将进一步降息。新西兰储备银行将官方现金利率下调50个基点至2.50%,为2022年7月以来的最低水平,称大幅下调是重振疲软经济的必要条件。自2024年8月以来,央行共降息300个基点,通货膨胀率保持在1%-3%的目标范围内,政策制定者有进一步放松政策的空间。行业表现总体积极,公用事业、房地产和消费服务表现突出。在能源供应商中,Meridian(+2.8%)、Mercury NZ(+1.5%)、Genesis(+1.65%)和Vector(+2.8%.)均实现稳健增长。SkyCity娱乐公司(+5.0%)提振了消费者服务。此外,工业地产(+3.15%)、Stride地产(+2.7%)、Kiwi地产(+0.9%)和Argosy地产(+0.8%)上涨。
New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index rose 0.3% to close at 13,568 on Wednesday, its highest closing level on record, after the Reserve Bank surprised markets with a larger-than-expected rate cut and signaled further reductions. The RBNZ slashed its official cash rate by 50bps to 2.50%, the lowest level since July 2022, saying the outsized cut was necessary to revive a weakened economy. Since August 2024, the central bank has lowered rates by a total of 300bps, and with inflation remaining within its 1%–3% target range, policymakers have room to ease policy further. Sector performance was broadly positive, with notable strength in utilities, property, and consumer services. Among energy providers, Meridian (+2.8%), Mercury NZ (+1.5%), Genesis (+1.65%), and Vector (+2.8%) posted solid gains. Consumer services were buoyed by SkyCity Entertainment (+5.0%). Also, Property for Industry (+3.15%), Stride Property (+2.7%), Kiwi Property (+0.9%), and Argosy Property (+0.8%) advanced.
