New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index rose 0.3% to close at 13,568 on Wednesday, its highest closing level on record, after the Reserve Bank surprised markets with a larger-than-expected rate cut and signaled further reductions. The RBNZ slashed its official cash rate by 50bps to 2.50%, the lowest level since July 2022, saying the outsized cut was necessary to revive a weakened economy. Since August 2024, the central bank has lowered rates by a total of 300bps, and with inflation remaining within its 1%–3% target range, policymakers have room to ease policy further. Sector performance was broadly positive, with notable strength in utilities, property, and consumer services. Among energy providers, Meridian (+2.8%), Mercury NZ (+1.5%), Genesis (+1.65%), and Vector (+2.8%) posted solid gains. Consumer services were buoyed by SkyCity Entertainment (+5.0%). Also, Property for Industry (+3.15%), Stride Property (+2.7%), Kiwi Property (+0.9%), and Argosy Property (+0.8%) advanced.

周三，新西兰元下跌近1%，至0.574美元，触及4月以来的最低水平，此前储备银行公布了比预期更大的降息幅度，并表示未来将有更多宽松政策。央行将官方现金利率下调50个基点至2.50%，令市场感到意外，市场在25个基点和50个基点之间摇摆不定。新西兰储备银行表示，“双倍降息”对于恢复信心和支持近几个月失去势头的经济复苏是必要的。自2024年8月以来，央行共降息300个基点，通货膨胀率保持在1%-3%的目标范围内，政策制定者有进一步降低借贷成本的空间。美元走强，加剧了新西兰元的疲软，因为投资者在对政府长期停摆的经济影响日益担忧的情况下寻求安全。

The New Zealand dollar fell nearly 1% to $0.574 on Wednesday, hitting its lowest level since April, after the Reserve Bank delivered a larger-than-expected interest rate cut and flagged more easing ahead. The central bank slashed its official cash rate by 50bps to 2.50%, surprising markets that were split between a 25- and 50-bp move. The RBNZ said the “double rate cut” was necessary to restore confidence and support an economic recovery that has lost momentum in recent months. Since August 2024, the central bank has reduced rates by a total of 300bps, and with inflation remaining within its 1%–3% target range, policymakers have room to lower borrowing costs further. Adding to the kiwi’s weakness, the US dollar strengthened as investors sought safety amid growing concerns over the economic impact of a prolonged government shutdown.
