周二，新西兰基准标准普尔/NZX 50指数下跌0.4%，收于12639点，收复了前一交易日的一些涨幅，因为投资者在中东紧张局势升级的情况下采取了避险措施。随着冲突进入第五天，以色列和伊朗开始了新一轮的袭击。据报道，德黑兰敦促几个国家向美国施压，要求立即停火，但以色列表示没有兴趣。新的数据显示，新西兰5月份的年度食品通胀率从4月份的3.7%加速至4.4%，为2023年12月以来的最高水平，这加剧了看跌情绪。投资者目前正在等待本周的关键本地数据，包括经常账户、消费者信心和第一季度国内生产总值，以获取进一步的经济线索。在主要股票中，Gentrack Group（-4.9%）、Ryman Healthcare（-2.7%）、Mercury NZ（-2.3%）、Meridian Energy（-2.2%）和Fisher&Paykel（-1.9%）的跌幅显著。

New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index fell 0.4% to close at 12,639 on Tuesday, giving back some gains from the previous session as investors moved to risk-off positions amid escalating Middle East tensions. Israel and Iran have begun a new round of attacks as their conflict enters its fifth day. Tehran has reportedly urged several countries to pressure the US for an immediate ceasefire, but Israel signaled no interest. Adding to the bearish sentiment, fresh data showed New Zealand’s annual food inflation accelerated to 4.4% in May from 3.7% in April, the highest since December 2023. Investors are now awaiting key local data this week—including current account, consumer confidence, and Q1 GDP—for further economic clues. Among key stocks, notable losses were seen in Gentrack Group (-4.9%), Ryman Healthcare (-2.7%), Mercury NZ (-2.3%), Meridian Energy (-2.2%), and Fisher & Paykel (-1.9%).

周二，新西兰元跌至0.605美元左右，削减了前一交易日的大幅涨幅，因为投资者在中东紧张局势升级的情况下采取了避险措施。随着冲突进入第五天，以色列和伊朗开始了新一轮的袭击。据报道，德黑兰敦促几个国家向美国施压，要求立即停火，但以色列表示没有兴趣。在国内方面，最新数据显示，新西兰5月份的年度食品通胀率从4月份的3.7%加速至4.4%，为2023年12月以来的最高水平。这是因为市场现在只考虑了储备银行的一次降息，预计到11月，这将标志着宽松周期的结束。投资者正在等待本周的关键本地数据，包括经常账户、消费者信心和第一季度GDP，以获取进一步的经济线索。

周二上午，NZX 50几乎没有变化，在前一交易日稳步上涨后徘徊在12689附近。耐用消费品和电子技术的损失抵消了生产商制造业和能源矿产的收益。投资者消化了新的数据，显示新西兰食品通胀率从4月份的3.7%加速至5月份的17个月高点4.4%。焦点还转向了本周公布的关键国内数据，包括第一季度国内生产总值和经常账户余额。与此同时，由于中东紧张局势升级，美国期货大幅下跌，以色列承诺对伊朗进行进一步打击。在货币方面，美联储将于今天晚些时候开始政策会议，并于周三作出决定。尽管人们普遍预计利率将连续第四次保持不变，但日益加剧的地缘政治风险和油价上涨可能会抑制短期降息的希望。在个人板块中，AFT Pharma上涨1.9%，Skellerup上涨1.1%，而Mainfreight下跌1.4%，Restaurant Brands NZ下跌1.0%。

Losses in consumer durables and electronic tech offset gains in producer manufacturing and energy minerals.

Focus also turned to key domestic data due this week, including Q1 GDP and the current account balance. Meanwhile, U.S. futures dropped sharply amid escalating Middle East tensions, with Israel pledging further strikes on Iran. On the monetary front, the Fed will kick off its policy meeting later today, with a decision on Wednesday. While rates are widely expected to stay unchanged for the fourth straight time, mounting geopolitical risks and higher oil prices could dampen hopes for near-term cuts. Among individual movers, AFT Pharma rose 1.9% and Skellerup gained 1.1%, while Mainfreight lost 1.4% and Restaurant Brands NZ slipped 1.0%.

新西兰的年度食品通胀率在2025年5月加速至4.4%，高于4月的3.7%，达到2023年12月以来的最高水平。食品价格的持续上涨进一步给家庭预算带来了压力，其中杂货和肉类、家禽和鱼类群体分别上涨了5.2%和5.4%。与去年同期相比，所有五大食品类别的价格都有所上涨。在食品杂货中，这一增长主要是由于牛奶、黄油和奶酪的成本上涨。牛肉产品领涨肉类价格，牛排上涨18.6%，牛肉末上涨13.0%。政策制定者将密切关注，因为持续的通货膨胀可能会影响未来的利率决策。在4月份上涨0.8%之后，5月份食品价格总体上涨0.5%。

Annual food inflation in New Zealand accelerated to 4.4% in May 2025, rising from 3.7% in April and reaching its highest level since December 2023. The continued uptick in food prices further pressure on household budgets with the grocery and meat, poultry, and fish groups leading the increase, up 5.2% and 5.4%, respectively. All five major food categories saw price increases compared to the same month last year. Within grocery items, the rise was largely due to higher costs for milk, butter, and cheese. Meat price gains were led by beef products, with beef steak jumping 18.6% and beef mince climbing 13.0%. Policymakers will be watching closely, as sustained inflation could influence future decisions on interest rates. On a monthly basis, overall food prices 0.5% in May, following a 0.8 percent rise in April.
