周一早盘，新西兰元50指数下跌58点，跌幅0.4%，至13542点，与前一交易日相比停止上涨，触及一周多来的最低水平，主要受房地产、公用事业和工业板块下跌的拖累。交易员继续关注美国政府正在进行的停摆，因为关键经济数据的延迟将延长美联储12月会议上是否需要再次降息的辩论。然而，新西兰最大贸易伙伴中国的积极数据限制了跌幅，因为10月份中国大陆的消费者价格意外上涨，而生产者价格下跌幅度为14个月来最小。在国内，对新西兰储备银行在本月会议上降息的预期也阻止了该指数的大幅下跌，市场预计将降息25个基点。澳新银行集团在报告全年现金收益下降14%后下跌1.7%。其他下跌股包括Freightways（-1.8%）、Summerset Group（-1.1%）、Colonial Motor（-0.8%）和Ebos Group（-0.6%）。
The NZX 50 dropped 58 points, or 0.4%, to 13,542 in morning trade on Monday, halting gains from the previous session and hitting its lowest level in over a week, mainly weighed down by losses in real estate, utilities, and industrials. Traders continued to monitor the ongoing US government shutdown, as the delay of key economic data will prolong the debate about whether another rate cut is needed at the Fed’s December meeting. However, positive data from China, New Zealand's top trading partner, capped the fall, as consumer prices on the mainland unexpectedly rose in October while producer prices fell the least in 14 months. Domestically, expectations of rate cuts by the RBNZ at this month’s meeting also prevented the index from a steeper decline, with the market expecting a 25 bps reduction. ANZ Group dropped 1.7% after reporting a 14% fall in its full-year cash earnings. Other decliners were Freightways (-1.8%), Summerset Group (-1.1%), Colonial Motor (-0.8%), and Ebos Group (-0.6%).
