周三早盘交易中,新西兰股市上涨23点,涨幅0.2%,至12490点,结束了前五个交易日的下跌。受地缘政治紧张局势缓解和油价进一步下跌的支撑,华尔街隔夜上涨。NZX 50脱离了近三周来的最低水平,前一天由于中东紧张局势升级而触及该水平。
在国内,新西兰的贸易顺差从2024年5月的5400万新西兰元急剧扩大到5月的12亿新西兰元,高于市场预测的11亿新西兰元。然而,美联储主席鲍威尔在国会发表的一份声明限制了涨幅,该声明称美联储并不急于降息。能源股、金融股、工业股和科技股主要推动该指数上涨。澳新银行集团、斐雪派克和根特拉克集团等权重股均上涨0.7%,而殖民地汽车上涨1.7%,Infratil上涨0.8%,Seeka上涨1.0%。
New Zealand's equities rose 23 points, or 0.2%, to 12,490 in morning deals on Wednesday, halting losses from the prior five sessions. The gains tracked a rise on Wall Street overnight, supported by easing geopolitical tensions and a further fall in oil prices. The NZX 50 moved away from its lowest level in nearly three weeks, which it hit the day before due to escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Domestically, New Zealand's trade surplus widened sharply to NZ$1.2 billion in May from NZ$54 million in May 2024, above market forecasts of NZ$1.1 billion. However, a statement from Fed Chairman Powell before Congress—saying the central bank is in no rush to cut interest rates—capped the gains. Energy stocks, financials, industrials, and tech sectors mainly drove the index. Heavyweights such as ANZ Group, Fisher & Paykel, and Gentrack Group climbed 0.7% each, while Colonial Motor gained 1.7%, Infratil rose 0.8%, and Seeka increased 1.0%.
