标准普尔/NZX 50指数周四上涨0.4%,收于12119点,连续第二天上涨,本周上涨0.8%。随着投资者等待美日贸易谈判的结果,该指数跟随亚洲同行温和上涨。在国内新闻方面,新西兰第一季度的年通货膨胀率从上一季度的2.2%升至2.5%,略高于市场预测的2.3%。尽管有所上升,但这一数字仍在新西兰储备银行1-3%的目标范围内,不太可能阻止进一步降息。市场仍然完全预计新西兰储备银行将在5月份将3.5%的现金利率下调25个基点,并在10月份将其降至2.75%。在指数权重股中,Infratil(2.2%)、Spark NZ(-1.9%)和A2 Milk(1.95%)大幅上涨。新西兰市场将于周五和下周一因复活节假期休市。
The S&P/NZX 50 index advanced 0.4% to close at 12,119 on Thursday, extending gains for a second day and logging a 0.8% increase for the week. The index tracked moderate gains in Asian peers as investors awaited the outcome of U.S.-Japan trade talks. In domestic news, New Zealand’s annual inflation rate rose to 2.5% in the first quarter, slightly above market forecasts of 2.3%, from 2.2% in the previous quarter. Despite the rise, the figure remained within the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s 1–3% target range and is unlikely to prevent further rate cuts. Markets still fully expect the RBNZ to cut its 3.5% cash rate by 25bps in May and lower it to 2.75% by October. Among index heavyweights, significant gains were seen from Infratil (2.2%), Spark NZ (-1.9%), and A2 Milk (1.95%). Markets in New Zealand will be closed on Friday and the following Monday for the Easter holiday.
