周四早盘，新西兰元50指数上涨44点，涨幅0.3%，至12924点，前一交易日持平。这一涨幅与特朗普总统宣布对半导体进口征收高额新关税的计划后美国股票期货的上涨相吻合。周三的数据也提振了市场情绪，新西兰失业率升至2020年第三季度以来的最高水平，这增加了新西兰储备银行在即将召开的会议上降息的希望。然而，在美中贸易紧张局势缓和和国内需求持续疲软的迹象下，交易员们正在等待新西兰最大贸易伙伴中国今天晚些时候公布的贸易数据。在华盛顿对印度商品加征25%关税后，投资者也密切关注美国的贸易政策。在IT、能源和通信服务的引领下，所有行业都转向了绿色发展。早期上涨股包括Seek（上涨1.3%）、Ryman Healthcare（1.2%）、Scales Corp.（0.9%）、FC Investment（0.8%）和澳新银行集团（0.6%）。
The NZX 50 climbed 44 points, or 0.3%, to 12,924 in early trading on Thursday, after being flat in the previous session. The gain tracked a rise in US stock futures after President Trump announced a plan to impose steep new tariffs on semiconductor imports. Wednesday's data also lifted sentiment, as the unemployment rate in New Zealand rose to its highest level since Q3 of 2020, raising hopes of interest rate cuts by the RBNZ at its upcoming meeting. However, traders were awaiting the release of trade data from China—New Zealand's top trading partner—later today, amid signs of easing trade tensions between the US and China and continued weak domestic demand. Investors also kept a close eye on US trade policy after Washington imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods. All sectors moved into the green, led by IT, energy, and communication services. Among the early gainers were Seek (up 1.3%), Ryman Healthcare (1.2%), Scales Corp. (0.9%), FC Investment (0.8%), and ANZ Group (0.6%).
