周四早盘交易中,新西兰元50指数下跌14点,跌幅0.1%,至12447点,连续第七个交易日下跌,主要受房地产、公用事业和医疗保健股拖累。投资者保持谨慎,同时继续关注以色列-伊朗停火的进展。美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔周三的声明也给市场情绪带来了压力,因为美联储表示不急于降低利率。在周五公布新西兰6月消费者信心数据之前,投资者也持谨慎态度。此前,由于通胀预期持续高企,5月的数据降至7个月低点。指数权重股出现显著下跌,如私人土地和房地产基金(-1.4%)、Meridian Energy(-1.0%)、Gentrack Group(-0.8%)、Mainfreight(-0.6%)、西太平洋银行(0.6%)、Ebos Group(-0.5%)和Contact Energy(-0.4%)。
The NZX 50 dropped 14 points, or 0.1%, to 12,447 in morning deals on Thursday, retreating for the seventh straight session, mainly weighed down by real estate, utilities, and healthcare stocks. Investors remained cautious while continuing to monitor developments in the Israel-Iran ceasefire. Wednesday's statement from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell also pressured sentiment, as the central bank signaled no rush to lower interest rates. Investors were also cautious ahead of the release of New Zealand’s consumer sentiment data for June, due on Friday, after May's figure fell to a seven-month low amid persistently high inflation expectations. Notable losses were seen among index heavyweights such as Private Land and Property Fund (-1.4%), Meridian Energy (-1.0%), Gentrack Group (-0.8%), Mainfreight (-0.6%), Westpac Banking Corp. (-0.6%), Ebos Group (-0.5%), and Contact Energy (-0.4%).
