周五早盘,新西兰元50指数下跌79点,跌幅0.6%,至13311点,停止了前两个交易日的涨幅。由于对持续的美中贸易紧张局势和美国政府持续关闭的担忧,华尔街隔夜下跌。本周,该指数将下跌1.2%,标志着连续第二周下跌。交易员还预计下周将公布第三季度国内通胀数据,这可能会指导央行在即将召开的会议上做出货币政策决定。新西兰最大贸易伙伴中国将于下周一发布一系列经济指标,在此之前,人们也持谨慎态度。这些包括国内生产总值、工业生产和零售额。几乎所有行业都出现了亏损,科技、消费品、金融和工业板块领涨。最大的落后者包括斐雪派克(-1.3%)、埃伯斯集团(-0.9%)、西太平洋银行(-0.8%)和澳新银行(-0.7%)。
The NZX 50 dropped 79 points, or 0.6%, to 13,311 in morning trade on Friday, halting gains from the previous two sessions. The decline tracked a fall on Wall Street overnight amid concerns over persistent US-China trade tensions and the ongoing US government shutdown. For the week, the index is heading for a 1.2% decline, marking the second consecutive weekly loss. Traders also anticipated the release of Q3 domestic inflation data next week, which could guide the central bank’s monetary policy decision in the upcoming meeting. Caution was also built ahead of the release of a slew of economic indicators from New Zealand’s top trading partner, China, which are set to be released next Monday. These include GDP, industrial production, and retail sales. Almost all sectors traded in the red, led by technology, consumer staples, financials, and industrials. Among the biggest laggards were Fisher & Paykel (-1.3%), Ebos Group (-0.9%), Westpac Banking Corp. (-0.8%), and ANZ Group (-0.7%).
