新西兰基准标准普尔/新西兰50指数周五下跌0.7%,收于12787点,因对美中贸易谈判的乐观情绪消退。本周早些时候,投资者对美中贸易战的暂时休战表示欢迎,这大大降低了全球经济衰退的可能性。在国内新闻方面,新西兰4月份的制造业活动连续第四个月扩大,这得益于新订单的增加。在企业方面,大多数指数权重股收盘下跌,斐雪派克(-1.4%)、新西兰水星(-1.1%)和Contact Energy(-2.4%)的跌幅明显。其他跌幅较大的公司包括Fletcher Building(-2.6%)、Summerset Group(-2.3%)、Skellerup Holdings(-3.1%)和Oceania Healthcare(-3.0%)。尽管周五有所回落,新西兰元50指数仍创下1.4%的周涨幅,标志着连续第三周上涨。
New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index dropped 0.7% to close at 12,787 on Friday, as optimism over US-China trade talks faded. Earlier this week, investors cheered the temporary truce in the trade war between the US and China, which has greatly lessened the chance of a global recession. In domestic news, New Zealand’s manufacturing activity expanded for the fourth consecutive month in April, helped by an increase in new orders. On the corporate front, most index heavyweights finished lower, with notable declines seen from Fisher & Paykel (-1.4%), Mercury NZ (-1.1%), and Contact Energy (-2.4%). Other significant losers included Fletcher Building (-2.6%), Summerset Group (-2.3%), Skellerup Holdings (-3.1%), and Oceania Healthcare (-3.0%). Despite Friday’s pullback, the NZX 50 posted a 1.4% weekly gain, marking its third consecutive weekly advance.
