周四早盘交易中，新西兰元50指数下跌37点，跌幅0.3%，至12700点，在非能源矿产、非耐用消费品和医疗保健疲软的情况下，第二个交易日下跌。周三华尔街股市波动，美国国债收益率上升，围绕唐纳德·特朗普政治任命的不确定性，尤其是财政部长，市场情绪仍然悲观。在最大的贸易伙伴中国，中国人民银行将关键贷款利率保持在历史最低水平，以帮助疲软的经济，但投资者不确定北京是否会在短期内提供有意义的财政刺激，因为它正在等待美国新政府的影响。在10月和8月因通胀疲软而累计降息75个基点至4.75%之后，人们预计新西兰储备银行下周将进一步降息，这限制了进一步的下跌。Colonial Motor跌幅最大（-3%），其次是Fletcher Building（-2.3%）、Infratil有限公司（-1.5%）和Genesis Energy有限公司（-1.2%）。
The NZX 50 dropped 37 points or 0.3% to 12,700 in early deals on Thursday, slipping for the second session amid weakness in non-energy minerals, consumer non-durables, and healthcare. Sentiment remained downbeat after a volatile session on Wall Street Wednesday, amid rising US Treasury yields and uncertainty surrounding Donald Trump's political appointments, especially Treasury Secretary. In top trading partner China, the PBoC kept its key lending rates unchanged at record lows to aid the weak economy but investors were unsure about whether Beijing will offer meaningful fiscal stimulus in the near term as it awaits clarity on the impact of the new US administration. Limiting further declines were expectations that the RBNZ will deliver more rate reduction next week, after a cumulative 75bps cuts in October and August to 4.75% on the back of soft inflation. Colonial Motor fell the most(-3%), followed by Fletcher Building (-2.3%), Infratil Ltd. (-1.5%), and Genesis Energy Ltd. (-1.2%).
