新西兰基准标准普尔/NZX 50指数周三上涨0.5%,收于12068点,在金融板块走强的推动下,从前一交易日的下跌中恢复过来。Heartland Group领涨,上涨7.1%。澳大利亚西太平洋银行和澳新银行集团的本地股票分别上涨1.7%和2.7%。在大盘股中,Infratil(3.9%)、Contact Energy(2.5%)和Mainfreight(1.1%)也出现了显著上涨。与此同时,新西兰航空公司的股价收平,此前该公司预计2025年的收益将下降,因为其全球发动机维修延误和相关薪酬水平存在不确定性。投资者现在将注意力转向定于周四公布的第一季度CPI数据,以进一步了解新西兰储备银行的货币政策前景。在其他地方,新西兰最大的贸易伙伴中国公布了强劲的经济数据,但与美国的贸易战给前景蒙上了阴影。
New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index rose 0.5% to close at 12,068 on Wednesday, recovering from the previous session’s losses, buoyed by strength in the financial sector. Heartland Group led the advance, jumping 7.1%. Local shares of Australia banks Westpac and ANZ Group added 1.7% and 2.7%, respectively. Among large-cap stocks, notable gains were also seen from Infratil (3.9%), Contact Energy (2.5%), and Mainfreight (1.1%). Meanwhile, shares of Air New Zealand ended flat after the carrier projected lower earnings for 2025, amid uncertainty surrounding its global engine maintenance delays and related compensation levels. Investors are now turning their attention to the first-quarter CPI data, scheduled for release on Thursday, for further cues on the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's monetary policy outlook. Elsewhere, China, New Zealand’s largest trading partner, reported strong economic data but a trade war with the U.S. has cast a shadow over the outlook.
