新西兰基准标准普尔/NZX 50指数周三下跌0.2%，收于12788点，连续第二个交易日下跌，进一步远离本周早些时候创下的33个月高点。在最近美国国债收益率飙升后，交易员越来越担心美国利率的前景。市场参与者也在密切关注紧张的美国总统选举。在企业方面，Fletcher Building的股价上涨了1.6%，尽管该公司告诉市场，其材料和分销业务在25财年第一季度的市场容量下降了10%至15%，预计这一情况将在本财年剩余时间内持续下去。奥克兰国际机场（-2.3%）、Mainfreight（-2%）和Contact Energy（-1.4%）等重量级公司出现了显著亏损。

New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index fell 0.2% to close at 12,788 on Wednesday, sliding for a second straight session and moving further away from a 33-month high reached earlier in the week. Traders are increasingly concerned about the outlook for US interest rates after a recent surge in US Treasury yields. Market participants are also keeping a close eye on a tight US presidential election race. On the corporate front, shares of Fletcher Building rose 1.6% even after telling the market that there was a decline of 10% to 15% in market volumes in its materials and distribution businesses in the first quarter of FY25, which is expected to continue over the rest of the financial year. Notable losses were seen from heavyweight firms such as Auckland Intl Airport (-2.3%), Mainfreight (-2%), and Contact Energy (-1.4%).

周三，新西兰元稳定在0.604美元左右，但交易接近两个月低点，因为投资者权衡了国内和美国的利率前景。在国内，交易员继续猜测，新西兰储备银行可能会在11月的最后一次会议上降息75个基点，而降息0.5个基点的价格已经完全反映在内。此举将标志着该央行今年第三次降息。与此同时，一系列强劲的美国经济数据降低了人们对美联储激进货币宽松政策的预期，导致美元走高。市场参与者也在密切关注即将到来的美国总统选举，该选举仍然竞争激烈。

The New Zealand dollar steadied around $0.604 on Wednesday, but traded close to two-month lows as investors weighed the interest rate outlook both domestically and in the US. At home, traders continued to speculate that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand might deliver a 75-basis-point rate cut at its final meeting of the year in November, while a half-point reduction is already fully priced in. Such a move would mark the central bank’s third interest rate cut this year. Meanwhile, a series of strong US economic data has reduced expectations for aggressive monetary easing by the Federal Reserve, sending the greenback higher. Market participants are also closely monitoring the upcoming US presidential election, which remains highly competitive.

新西兰股市周三早盘下跌43点，跌幅0.3%，至12771点，连续第二天下跌，由于耐用消费品、金融和零售业的损失，进一步远离33个月的峰值。一些交易员在全球不确定性中继续确保利润，包括美国总统大选、美国国债收益率最近飙升后的利率前景以及中东紧张局势。尽管如此，该岛国9月份贸易逆差的缩小限制了损失，因为出口强劲增长，而进口略有下降。在货币方面，由于通胀进一步放缓和经济活动疲软，新西兰储备银行可能会在11月大幅降息。与此同时，一些经济学家预计明年将累计降息100个基点。Serko有限公司下跌3.0%，紧随其后的是Sky Network Television（-1.8%）、Manawa Energy（-1.3%）和Restaurant Brands NZ（-1.1%）。

Shares in New Zealand shed 43 points, or 0.3%, to 12,771 in early trade on Wednesday, retreating for the second day and moving further away from a 33-month peak due to losses in consumer durables, financials, and retail trade. Some traders continued to secure profits amid global uncertainty, including the US presidential election, the outlook for interest rates following a recent surge in US Treasury yields, and tensions in the Middle East. Still, a narrowing trade deficit for September in the island nation capped the losses, as exports grew robustly while imports were slightly lower. On the monetary front, the RBNZ could deliver a jumbo rate reduction in November on the back of a further slowdown in inflation and sluggish economic activity. In the meantime, some economists projected a cumulative 100bps cut next year. Serko Ltd. drove the decline, slipping by 3.0%, followed by Sky Network Television (-1.8%), Manawa Energy (-1.3%), and Restaurant Brands NZ (-1.1%).
