新西兰基准标准普尔/NZX 50指数周三收于12845点，下跌0.5%，原因是国内劳动力市场数据疲软，以及对全球关税影响的担忧。新西兰第四季度的失业率从第三季度的4.8%升至四年来的最高点5.1%，突显出持续的经济压力。这增强了人们对新西兰储备银行本月晚些时候将大幅降息50个基点的预期。在全球方面，中国宣布了报复性关税，就在美国总统唐纳德·特朗普对中国商品征收10%的关税于周二生效几分钟后。与此同时，对来自加拿大和墨西哥的进口商品征收25%的关税也将在特朗普同意在谈判成功后暂停30天的同一天生效。在大盘股中，斐雪派克下跌3.7%，奥克兰国际机场下跌1.1%，Spark NZ下跌0.9%。

New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index closed 0.5% lower at 12,845 on Wednesday, amid weak domestic labor market data and concerns over the impact of global tariffs. New Zealand’s jobless rate rose to a four-year high of 5.1% in Q4 from 4.8% in Q3, highlighting continued economic strain. This reinforced expectations that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand would deliver an outsized 50bps rate cut later this month. On the global front, China announced retaliatory tariffs, just minutes after US President Donald Trump’s 10% levy on Chinese goods took effect on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico were also set to go into effect on the same day before Trump agreed to a 30-day pause following successful negotiations. Among large-cap stocks, Fisher & Paykel shed 3.7%, Auckland Intl Airport lost 1.1%, and Spark NZ fell 0.9%.

The New Zealand dollar rose to around $0.566 on Wednesday, extending gains from the previous session, as the US dollar weakened amid tariff tensions. A 10% US tariff on Chinese goods took effect on Tuesday, prompting Beijing to announce retaliatory tariffs on selected US products. While a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping remains uncertain, such discussions are seen as pivotal for potentially easing or delaying tariffs, like how last-minute talks resulted in one-month reprieves on levies against Canada and Mexico. Domestically, the Kiwi shrugged off weak labor market data, which reinforced expectations of a 50bps rate cut by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand later this month. The country’s unemployment rate rose to 5.1% in Q4, the highest since Q3 2020, underscoring the extent of the economic slowdown. Additionally, weaker-than-expected services activity data from China, New Zealand’s largest trading partner, weighed on the currency.
