周二早盘,新西兰元50指数下跌48点,跌幅0.3%,至13347点,结束了三个交易日的上涨,因为医疗保健、材料和通信服务的下跌对该指数造成了压力。鉴于中国作为新西兰最大贸易伙伴的关键作用,投资者在本周晚些时候公布的新西兰10月商业和消费者信心数据以及中国官方PMI数据之前变得谨慎。周一华尔街的反弹部分抵消了损失,因为人们越来越乐观地认为,在通胀疲软之后,美联储本周将再次降息,并可能在12月再次降息。与此同时,有迹象表明,中美贸易紧张局势有所缓解,高级官员在特朗普总统和Xi预计在未来几天举行会晤之前概述了一个框架。早期落后者包括Gentrack Group(-2.0%)、Fisher&Paykel Healthcare(-1.9%)、陶朗加港(-1.0%)和Freightways Group(-0.7%)。
The NZX 50 fell 48 points, or 0.3%, to 13,347 in morning trade on Tuesday, snapping a three-session advance as declines in healthcare, materials, and communication services weighed on the index. Investors turned cautious ahead of October business and consumer confidence data in New Zealand due later this week, as well as China’s official PMI figures, given its key role as New Zealand’s largest trading partner. Losses were partly offset by a rally on Wall Street Monday amid growing optimism that the U.S. Federal Reserve will cut interest rates again this week, following softer inflation, and may deliver another reduction in December. Meanwhile, signs of easing Sino-U.S. trade tensions were built, with top officials outlining a framework ahead of an expected meeting between Presidents Trump and Xi Jinping in the coming days. Early laggards included Gentrack Group (-2.0%), Fisher & Paykel Healthcare (-1.9%), Port of Tauranga (-1.0%), and Freightways Group (-0.7%).
