周五早盘,新西兰元50指数小幅下跌13点,跌幅0.1%,至13564点,连续第二个交易日下跌,并在周四华尔街因科技股再次疲软和美国劳动力市场疲软而大幅抛售后从历史高点回落。市场情绪也受到对美国政府长期停摆的担忧的影响,这是历史上最长的一次。在新西兰最大贸易伙伴中国的关键数据公布之前,投资者变得谨慎,包括10月份的贸易和CPI/PPI数据,这些数据将于当天晚些时候公布。物流、能源矿产和工业服务板块的下跌扰乱了基准指数,其中包括Briscoe Group(-2.6%)、Sanford有限公司(-2.0%)、新西兰南港(-1.8%)和Scott Technology(-1.3%)。尽管如此,市场仍有望连续第三周上涨,这得益于本月晚些时候新西兰储备银行在第三季度劳动力数据疲软的情况下进一步放松货币政策的预期。
The NZX 50 edged down 13 points, or 0.1%, to 13,564 in early trade on Friday, slipping for a second session and retreating from record highs after a sharp sell-off on Wall Street Thursday due to renewed weakness in tech shares and a soft U.S. labor market. Sentiment was also weighed by concerns over a prolonged U.S. government shutdown, now the longest in history. Investors turned cautious ahead of key data in China, New Zealand's largest trading partner, including October trade and CPI/PPI figures, due later in the day. Losses in logistics, energy minerals, and industrial services rattled the benchmark index, with notable decliners including Briscoe Group (-2.6%), Sanford Ltd. (-2.0%), South Port NZ (-1.8%), and Scott Technology (-1.3%). Still, markets remain on track for their third consecutive weekly advance, supported by expectations of further monetary easing from the RBNZ later this month amid soft Q3 labor data.
