周二早盘，新西兰元50指数下跌80点，跌幅0.6%，至12891点，停止了前四个交易日的涨幅，并从2月份前一天达到的最高水平回落。下降的主要原因是医疗保健、能源和工业。在周三新西兰储备银行货币政策会议之前，交易员们持谨慎态度。央行在7月份因国内经济疲软和高失业率而暂停加息后，预计将降息25个基点至3%。交易员还预计，在国内需求进一步疲软的情况下，中国将做出利率决定。在美联储7月会议纪要和美联储主席鲍威尔本周晚些时候在杰克逊霍尔发表主题演讲之前，人们也普遍持谨慎态度，这可能会指导央行的货币政策轨迹。在数据方面，新西兰第二季度PPI上涨0.6%，低于第一季度，低于预期。早期的失败者包括Infratil（-2.5%）、Fisher&Paykel（-1.8%）和Contact Energy（-1.4%）。
The NZX 50 fell 80 points, or 0.6%, to 12,891 in early trading on Tuesday, halting gains from the previous four sessions and retreating from its highest level since February, reached the day before. The decline was mainly driven by healthcare, energy, and industrials. Traders were cautious ahead of the RBNZ’s monetary policy meeting on Wednesday. The central bank is expected to cut the interest rate by 25 bps to 3%, after pausing in July amid a weak domestic economy and high unemployment. Traders also anticipated the interest rate decision in China, amid further weak domestic demand. Caution also prevailed ahead of the release of the Fed's July meeting minutes and Fed Chair Powell's keynote speech at Jackson Hole later this week, which could guide the central bank’s monetary policy trajectory. On the data front, PPI in New Zealand rose by 0.6% in Q2, softer than Q1 and below expectations. Among early losers were Infratil (-2.5%), Fisher & Paykel (-1.8%), and Contact Energy (-1.4%).
