周五早盘，新西兰元50指数下跌39点，跌幅0.3%，至13413点，停止了前四个交易日的涨幅。工业、消费品、科技和公用事业板块的下跌主要推动了下跌。交易员继续关注美国政府关门的事态发展，同时也在等待今天晚些时候美国就业报告的发布。继8月份下降后，新西兰9月份商业PMI数据将于下周公布，在此之前，人们也持谨慎态度。然而，对新西兰储备银行下周将降息25个基点的预期帮助遏制了下跌。周四，在科技股上涨的支撑下，华尔街一个乐观的交易日也阻止了更广泛的指数进一步下跌。早期下跌的包括Colonial Motor（-1.9%）、Meridian Energy（-1.4%）、奥克兰国际机场（-1.3%）和A2 Milk（-1.0%）。然而，本周该指数仍将上涨2.1%，在上周下跌后反弹。
The NZX 50 fell 39 points, or 0.3%, to 13,413 in morning trade on Friday, halting gains from the previous four sessions. Losses in the industrials, consumer staples, tech, and utilities sectors mainly drove the decline. Traders continued to monitor developments surrounding a US government shutdown, while also awaiting the release of the US jobs report later today. Caution was also built ahead of the release of New Zealand’s Business PMI data for September, due next week, following a decline in August. However, expectations that the RBNZ will cut rates by 25 basis points next week helped cap the fall. An upbeat session on Wall Street on Thursday, supported by gains in tech stocks, also prevented the broader index from falling further. Among early decliners were Colonial Motor (-1.9%), Meridian Energy (-1.4%), Auckland International Airport (-1.3%), and A2 Milk (-1.0%). For the week, however, the index is still heading for a 2.1% gain, rebounding after posting losses the previous week.
