周四早盘,新西兰股市下跌34点,跌幅0.3%,至12034点,与前一交易日相比停止上涨,受能源、消费必需品和金融板块下跌的影响。第一季度通胀率同比加速至2.5%,为2024年第二季度以来的最高水平,降低了新西兰联储进一步降息的希望,交易员们对此持谨慎态度。新西兰元50指数也追随华尔街隔夜下跌的趋势,在美联储货币政策的不确定性和对新关税导致的通货膨胀加剧的担忧下,华尔街出现了广泛的抛售。早期失败者包括萨默塞特集团(-2.3%)、A2牛奶公司(-1.3%)、接触能量公司(-1.2%)、澳新银行集团(-1.0%)和Infratil公司(-1.0%。市场将于周五因复活节假期休市。本周,该指数将上涨0.1%,这是三周来的首次单周上涨,因为人们希望美国进一步减免关税。
New Zealand's equities dropped by 34 points, or 0.3%, to 12,034 in morning trade on Thursday, halting gains from the previous session, weighed down by losses in energy, consumer staples, and financials. Traders were cautious after the Q1 inflation rate accelerated to 2.5% year-over-year, the highest since Q2 of 2024, dimming hopes of a further interest rate cut by the RBNZ. The NZX 50 also tracked an overnight decline on Wall Street, where a broad sell-off occurred amid uncertainty surrounding the Fed's monetary policy and concerns over higher inflation due to new tariffs. Among the early losers were Summerset Group (-2.3%), A2 Milk (-1.3%), Contact Energy (-1.2%), ANZ Group (-1.0%), and Infratil (-1.0%). The market will be closed on Friday for the Easter holiday. For the week, the index is heading for a 0.1% rise, the first weekly increase in three weeks, amid hopes of further tariff relief from the US.
