周五，新西兰基准标准普尔/NZX 50指数下跌1.15%，收于13043点，结束了为期两天的反弹，因为SkyCity Entertainment的严重亏损给市场带来了压力。这家赌场运营商的股价在周四公布其全年基本收益大幅下降后，从两天的停牌恢复交易，暴跌29%。权重股的抛售压力有所扩大，斐雪派克（-2.1%）、奥克兰国际机场（-1.9%）、Infratil（-1.2%）、新西兰水星（-21%）、Contact Energy（-1.0%）和Spark NZ（-0.6%）的跌幅显著。相反，恒天然股价飙升19.5%，此前该国最大的乳制品公司宣布将其全球消费者和相关业务出售给法国巨头Lactalis。与此同时，全球投资者正在等待美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔今天晚些时候在杰克逊霍尔的演讲，以寻找美国今年可能降息的线索。尽管周五有所回落，但新西兰元50指数本周上涨1.2%，连续第三周上涨。

New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index fell 1.15% to close at 13,043 on Friday, snapping a two-day rally, as heavy losses in SkyCity Entertainment weighed on the market. The casino operator’s shares plunged 29% after resuming trade from a two-day halt, following Thursday’s report of a steep drop in its full-year underlying earnings. Selling pressure extended across heavyweight stocks, with notable declines in Fisher & Paykel (-2.1%), Auckland Intl Airport (-1.9%), Infratil (-1.2%), Mercury NZ (-2.1%), Contact Energy (-1.0%), and Spark NZ (-0.6%). Conversely, shares of Fonterra surged 19.5% after the country's biggest dairy firm announced the sale of its global consumer and related businesses to French giant Lactalis. Meanwhile, investors globally are now awaiting Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole later today for clues on potential US rate cuts this year. Despite Friday’s retreat, the NZX 50 rose 1.2% for the week, notching its third straight weekly advance.

周五，新西兰元徘徊在0.581美元左右，接近4月11日以来的最低水平，因预计储备银行将进一步降息。周三，新西兰储备银行将其官方现金利率下调25个基点至3.0%的三年低点，并暗示未来将进一步放松以重振陷入困境的经济，此后利率预期急剧变化。市场和大多数经济学家现在预计，到年底，至少还会再降息两次，如果经济未能如央行所希望的那样增长，则有可能进一步降息。在全球方面，投资者现在将注意力转向美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔当天晚些时候在杰克逊霍尔研讨会上的演讲，以了解美国今年可能降息的线索。本周，新西兰元下跌1.7%，将连续第二周下跌。

The New Zealand dollar hovered around $0.581 on Friday, holding near its weakest level since April 11, amid expectations of further interest rate cuts by the Reserve Bank. Rate expectations shifted sharply after the RBNZ cut its official cash rate by 25bps to a three-year low of 3.0% on Wednesday and signaled further easing ahead to revive a struggling economy. Markets and most economists now anticipate at least two more rate cuts by year-end, with the risk of deeper reductions if the economy fails to grow as the central bank hopes. On the global front, investors are now turning their attention to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole symposium later in the day for hints on potential US rate cuts this year. For the week, the kiwi has fallen 1.7%, heading for a second consecutive weekly decline.

Equities in New Zealand's NZX 50 fell 45 points, or 0.3%, to 13,149 in morning trade on Friday, halting gains from the previous two sessions and pulling back from their highest level since last December.
