周二,新西兰基准标准普尔/NZX 50指数上涨0.5%,收于12185点,连续第三个交易日上涨,因为人们越来越乐观地认为,即将到来的4月2日美国互惠关税最后期限可能会带来比预期更温和的措施。唐纳德·特朗普总统表示,“许多国家”可能会获得关税豁免,但确认即将对汽车、药品和铝征收关税。在经济方面,新西兰第一季度的就业信心减弱,西太平洋银行麦克德莫特-米勒指数从2024年第四季度的91.6降至88.3,这表明劳动力条件疲软。在企业新闻方面,Spark NZ在宣布贝莱德及其附属公司将其在该公司的股份从5.9%增加到8.1%后,股价上涨了4%以上。Solution Dynamics在市场份额回购消息传出后上涨了1%以上。其他显著上涨的股票包括斐雪派克(+1.4%)、新西兰水星(+1.8%)和陶朗加港(+2.3%)。
New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 closed 0.5% higher to 12,185 on Tuesday, marking its third consecutive session of gains, as optimism grew that the looming April 2 deadline for US reciprocal tariffs may bring milder measures than expected. President Donald Trump indicated that "a lot of countries" could receive tariff exemptions but confirmed upcoming duties on autos, pharmaceuticals, and aluminum. On the economic front, New Zealand's employment confidence weakened in Q1, with the Westpac McDermott Miller Index falling to 88.3 from 91.6 in Q4 2024, signaling subdued labor conditions. In corporate news, Spark NZ jumped over 4% after announcing that BlackRock and its affiliates increased their stake in the company to 8.1% from 5.9%. Solution Dynamics gained more than 1% following news of an on-market share buyback. Other notable gainers included Fisher & Paykel (+1.4%), Mercury NZ (+1.8%), and Port of Tauranga (+2.3%).
