新西兰基准标准普尔/NZX 50指数周一上涨0.3%,至13080点,连续第四个交易日上涨,收盘接近八个月高点。这一上涨反映出,在美联储主席鲍威尔强调美国劳动力市场下行风险上升,为未来降息敞开大门后,风险情绪有所改善。在国内,总理克里斯托弗·卢克森批评储备银行在上周将关键利率下调25个基点后,没有大幅降息以刺激经济增长。截至6月的三个月里,零售额环比增长0.5%,较第一季度的0.8%有所放缓,但超过了0.2%的预期,这表明较低的利率开始支持经济活动。在整个交易所,通信、科技和非能源矿产板块领涨,其中Chorus(+2.3%)、Gentrack(+3.7%)、Eroad(+4.3%),Fletcher(+1.3%)和Santana(+2.3%.)表现突出。
New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index grew 0.3% to 13,080 on Monday, rising for a fourth consecutive session and closing near an eight-month high. The advance reflected improved risk sentiment after Federal Reserve Chair Powell highlighted rising downside risks to the US labor market, leaving the door open for future rate cuts. Domestically, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon criticized the Reserve Bank for not cutting rates aggressively enough to stimulate growth, following last week’s 25bps reduction to the key rate. Retail sales rose 0.5% quarter-on-quarter in the three months to June, slowing from a 0.8% gain in Q1 but surpassing forecasts of 0.2%, suggesting that lower interest rates are beginning to support activity. Across the bourse, communications, technology, and non-energy mineral sectors led gains, with notable performances from Chorus (+2.3%), Gentrack (+3.7%), Eroad (+4.3%), Fletcher (+1.3%), and Santana (+2.3%).
