在上一交易日走强后，周五早盘NZX 50在13375左右几乎没有变化。继9月消费者情绪疲软和商业前景低迷之后，交易员们等待即将公布的新西兰10月消费者和商业情绪数据。在白宫确认特朗普总统与中国领导人Xi将于本月晚些时候举行会晤，以及定于本周末在东盟峰会上举行的另一轮高级别贸易会谈后，投资者也对全球贸易动态进行了监测。能源矿产和物流的损失抵消了生产者制造业和工业服务业的收益。尽管如此，市场仍有望实现三周来的首次周涨幅，迄今为止上涨约0.9%，这得益于对美联储将在下周和12月的会议上降息的乐观情绪。Sky Network TV上涨3.0%，紧随其后的是Serko有限公司（1.9%）和Ebos Group（1.2%），而T&G Global（-2.6%）、Channel Infrastructure（-2.3%）和South Port NZ（-1.6%）下跌。
The NZX 50 was little changed at around 13,375 in early Friday trade, after strength in the prior session. Traders await upcoming data on consumer and business sentiment for October in New Zealand, following a weak consumer mood in September and a subdued business outlook. Investors also monitored global trade dynamics after the White House confirmed a meeting between President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping later this month, alongside another round of high-level trade talks set for this weekend at the ASEAN Summit. Losses in energy minerals, and logistics offset gains in producer manufacturing and industrial services. Still, markets are on track to post their first weekly rise in three, up about 0.9% so far, helped by optimism that the U.S. Fed will cut interest rates at its meeting next week and in December. Sky Network TV climbed 3.0%, followed by Serko Ltd. (1.9%), and Ebos Group (1.2%), while T&G Global (-2.6%), Channel Infrastructure (-2.3%), and South Port NZ (-1.6%) fell.
