周一早盘,新西兰股市下跌16点,跌幅0.1%,至12714点,标志着连续第四个交易日下跌,追随周五华尔街的暴跌,原因是7月就业数据疲软和美国总统唐纳德·特朗普宣布的新关税政策。NZX 50触及7月中旬以来的最低水平,主要受科技、通信服务和金融拖累。新西兰最高外交官万吉利斯·维塔利斯在上周美国宣布征收15%的关税后飞往华盛顿,高于4月份威胁的10%的关税,此后交易员继续关注美国关税的发展。据当地媒体报道,贸易部长托德·麦克莱也计划在未来几天访问华盛顿。在本周晚些时候中国公布贸易数据和CPI之前,人们也保持了谨慎,因为中国大陆的需求持续疲软。早期失败者包括Gentrack Group(-1.5%)、Infratil(-0.7%)和ANZ Group(-0.6%)。
New Zealand's stocks fell 16 points, or 0.1%, to 12,714 in morning trade on Monday, marking the fourth straight session of losses, tracking a plunge on Wall Street on Friday, amid weak July jobs data and a new tariff policy announced by US President Donald Trump. The NZX 50 hit its lowest level since mid-July, mainly dragged down by tech, communication services, and financials. Traders continued to monitor the development of US tariffs, following New Zealand's top diplomat Vangelis Vitalis, who was flying to Washington in the wake of last week's announcement after the US imposed a 15% tariff—higher than the 10% tariff threatened in April. Trade Minister Todd McClay also plans to visit Washington in the coming days, as reported by local media. Caution was also built ahead of the release of trade data and CPI from China, which is due later this week amid continued weak demand on the mainland. Among early losers were Gentrack Group (-1.5%), Infratil (-0.7%), and ANZ Group (-0.6%).
