新西兰元50指数在新的一个月的第一个交易日下跌19点,跌幅0.2%,至13532点,结束了六个交易日的连胜,因为上周该指数触及两周高点后,交易员获利回吐。与此同时,在亚马逊强劲盈利的支撑下,华尔街周五公布每周和每月上涨后,美国期货几乎没有变化。在当地,新西兰10月消费者信心略有减弱,投资者等待本周晚些时候公布的第三季度劳动力市场数据,此前第二季度失业率微升至5.2%,为2020年第三季度以来的最高水平,参与率降至70.5%,为四年多来的最低水平。最新数据显示,9月份该岛国的建筑许可证增长了7.2%,为四个月来最快增长,抵消了损失。电子科技、耐用消费品和物流股领跌,其中温顿置地有限公司(-3.1%)、新西兰Channel Infrastructure(-1.1%)和Skellerup Holdings(-0.9%)跌幅显著。
The NZX 50 fell 19 points, or 0.2%, to 13,532 on the first trading day of a new month, snapping a six-session winning streak as traders booked profits after the index hit a two-week high last week. Meanwhile, U.S. futures were little changed after Wall Street posted weekly and monthly gains on Friday, supported by strong earnings from Amazon. Locally, New Zealand’s October consumer confidence weakened slightly, while investors awaited Q3 labor market data due later this week after the jobless rate edged up to 5.2% in Q2, the highest since Q3 2020, with the participation rate dipping to 70.5%, the weakest in over four years. Losses were offset by fresh data showing building permits in the island nation jumped 7.2% mom in September, the fastest growth in four months. Electronic tech, consumer durables, and logistics stocks led declines, with notable drops in Winton Land Ltd. (-3.1%), Channel Infrastructure NZ (-1.1%), and Skellerup Holdings (-0.9%).
