周二早盘,新西兰元50指数下跌23点,跌幅0.2%,至13186点,连续第二天下跌,触及9月4日以来的最低水平。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。路透社的一项民意调查显示,在前两个季度实现增长后,新西兰的国内生产总值预计将环比收缩0.3%,与新西兰储备银行的估计一致。周三美联储利率决定前的谨慎态度也打压了投资者情绪。在数据方面,食品通胀率稳定在5%,为2023年11月以来的最高水平。然而,受美中贸易谈判取得进展的迹象和对美联储即将做出的决定的乐观情绪的推动,隔夜华尔街的乐观情绪限制了损失。公用事业和非必需消费品是指数的主要拖累因素,哈伦斯坦(-2.0%)、矢量有限公司(-1.9%)、布里斯科集团(-0.9%)和西太平洋银行(-0.5%)跌幅显著。
The NZX 50 fell 23 points, or 0.2%, to 13,186 in early trading on Tuesday, marking its 2nd straight day of losses and hitting its lowest level since September 4. Traders remained cautious ahead of the release of Q2 GDP data later this week. A Reuters poll indicated that New Zealand's GDP is expected to contract by 0.3% qoq, aligning with the RBNZ’s estimates, after recording growth in the prior two quarters. Investor sentiment was also weighed down by caution ahead of the Fed's interest rate decision on Wednesday. On the data front, food inflation remained steady at 5%, marking the highest level since November 2023. However, losses were capped by an upbeat session on Wall Street overnight, buoyed by signs of progress in US-China trade talks and optimism surrounding the Fed’s upcoming decision. Utilities and consumer discretionary were the main drags on the index, with notable losses from Hallenstein (-2.0%), Vector Ltd (-1.9%), Briscoe Group (-0.9%), and Westpac Banking Corp. (-0.5%).
