新西兰股市周三早盘下跌24点,跌幅0.2%,至12853点,在最新数据显示第二季度失业率升至5.2%,为2020年第三季度以来的最高水平,但略低于市场预期的5.3%后,与前一交易日相比停止上涨。这些数据引发了人们对新西兰经济前景的担忧,因为美国新宣布的15%关税带来了额外的不利因素。周二,由于贸易紧张局势加剧、经济数据令人失望和企业盈利喜忧参半,新西兰元50指数追随华尔街悲观走势。在唐纳德·特朗普总统威胁要对药品进口征收高达250%的关税后,贸易商也继续关注美国的贸易关税政策。公用事业、医疗保健、消费必需品和金融类股主要拖累该指数,Freightways(-1.2%)、西太平洋银行(-1.2%”)、斐雪派克(-0.9%”)、布里斯科集团(-0.7%”)、Ebos集团(-0.4%”)和澳新银行(-0.3%”)的跌幅显著。
Equities in New Zealand fell 24 points, or 0.2%, to 12,853 in morning trade on Wednesday, halting gains from the previous session after fresh data showed the unemployment rate rose to 5.2% in Q2 — the highest since Q3 2020 — though slightly below market expectations of 5.3%. The data raised concerns about New Zealand’s economic outlook, amid additional headwinds from newly announced 15% U.S. tariffs. The NZX 50 tracked a downbeat session on Wall Street on Tuesday amid rising trade tensions, disappointing economic data, and mixed corporate earnings. Traders also continued to monitor the US trade tariff policy after President Donald Trump threatened to impose tariffs of up to 250% on pharmaceutical imports. Utilities, healthcare, consumer staples, and financials mainly dragged the index, with notable losses from Freightways (-1.2%), Westpac Banking Corporation (-1.2%), Fisher & Paykel (-0.9%), Briscoe Group (-0.7%), Ebos Group (-0.4%), and ANZ Group (-0.3%).
