新西兰元50指数周一早盘下跌60点，跌幅0.5%，至13168点，前一交易日持平。这标志着自9月4日以来的最低水平，因为交易员在本周晚些时候公布第二季度GDP数据之前仍持谨慎态度。市场预计，在连续两个季度的扩张之后，该国经济将恢复收缩，收缩0.3%（季度环比），与央行的预测一致。在新西兰最大贸易伙伴中国今天公布一系列数据以及美联储本周晚些时候的货币政策决定之前，人们也普遍持谨慎态度。在数据方面，由于销售额和新订单大幅下降，新西兰服务业以三个月来最快的速度收缩。大多数行业都出现了亏损，其中医疗保健、工业和金融板块领涨。最大的落后者包括纳皮尔港控股公司（-1.9%）、斐雪派克（-1.8%）、澳新银行集团（-1.4%）、特纳汽车集团（-1.0%）和西太平洋银行（-0.7%）。
The NZX 50 dropped 60 points, or 0.5%, to 13,168 in morning trade on Monday, after being flat in the previous session. This marked the lowest level since September 4, as traders remained cautious ahead of the release of Q2 GDP data later this week. The market expects the country's economy to return to contraction, shrinking by 0.3% (qoq) — in line with the central bank's forecast — after two consecutive quarters of expansion. Caution also prevailed ahead of a slew of data from New Zealand's top trading partner, China, due today, as well as the Fed’s monetary policy decision later this week. On the data front, New Zealand's services sector contracted at the fastest pace in three months, amid sharper declines in sales and new orders. Most sectors traded in the red, led by healthcare, industrials, and financials. Among the biggest laggards were Napier Port Holdings (-1.9%), Fisher & Paykel (-1.8%), ANZ Group (-1.4%), Turners Automotive Group (-1.0%), and Westpac Banking Corp. (-0.7%).
