新西兰基准标准普尔/NZX 50指数周五收于13112点,下跌0.3%,标志着连续第二个交易日下跌。当地股市追随华尔街的疲软,美国强劲的经济报告导致今年利率预期小幅调整。全球投资者现在正在等待今天晚些时候公布的美国个人消费支出价格指数,以获取美联储降息路径的更多线索。在国内新闻方面,澳新银行罗伊·摩根的调查显示,9月份新西兰消费者信心有所改善,这表明早些时候的宽松政策可能开始发挥作用。在企业方面,奥克兰国际机场(-2.2%)、Infratil(-3.6%)、Contact Energy(-2.1%)和Mercury NZ(-0.8%)等权重股出现了显著下跌。与此同时,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普宣布自10月1日起对品牌药品进口征收100%关税后,医疗保健类股涨跌互现。本周,新西兰元50指数下跌0.9%,为两个月来最大单周跌幅。
New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index closed 0.3% lower at 13,112 on Friday, marking its second straight session of losses. The local bourse tracked weakness on Wall Street, where strong US economic reports led to a small recalibration of interest rate expectations this year. Investors globally now await the release of the US PCE price index later today for more clues on the Federal Reserve’s rate-cut path. In domestic news, ANZ-Roy Morgan survey showed consumer confidence in New Zealand improved in September, suggesting that earlier policy easing may be starting to feed through. On the corporate front, notable declines were seen in heavyweights such as Auckland Intl Airport (-2.2%), Infratil (-3.6%), Contact Energy (-2.1%), and Mercury NZ (-0.8%). Meanwhile, healthcare stocks ended mixed after US President Donald Trump announced a 100% tariff on branded drug imports, effective October 1. For the week, the NZX 50 fell 0.9%, its sharpest weekly decline in two months.
