NXZ 50指数在周五早盘交易中上涨23点，涨幅0.2%，至13143点，高于前一天触及的两周来的最低水平。这一上涨与华尔街隔夜的乐观走势相吻合，受到美联储降息的支持，并表明年底前将再降息两次。新西兰总理克里斯托弗·卢克森周五发表声明，重申他对尼古拉·威利斯担任财政部长和经济增长充满信心，此后乐观情绪有所增加。在数据方面，尽管比预期的要大，但该国8月份的贸易逆差与去年同期相比有所缩小。通信服务、公用事业和工业板块主要推动该指数上涨，F&C投资（0.9%）、Ebos集团（0.8%）、澳新银行集团（0.5%）、Delegat集团（0.5%，奥克兰国际机场（0.4%）涨幅显著。然而，由于GDP结果令人失望，该指数在上周持平后，将每周下跌0.6%。
The NXZ 50 climbed by 23 points, or 0.2%, to 13,143 in Friday morning trade, moving up from its lowest level in two weeks, touched the day before. The rise tracked an upbeat session on Wall Street overnight, supported by the Fed rate cuts and indicating two additional cuts before the end of the year. Optimism increased following a statement from New Zealand's Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, who reiterated on Friday that he has huge confidence in Nicola Willis as finance minister and in economic growth. On the data front, the country’s trade gap narrowed in August compared to the same month last year, despite being larger than expected. Communication services, utilities, and industrials mainly drove the index, with notable gains from F&C Investment (0.9%), Ebos Group (0.8%), ANZ Group (0.5%), Delegat Group (0.5%), and Auckland International Airport (0.4%). However, the index is heading for a 0.6% weekly fall after being flat the previous week amid disappointing GDP results.
