新西兰基准标准普尔/NZX 50指数周五上涨1.2%,收于12904点,结束了连续两天的下跌。新西兰第三季度经济收缩情况比预期的更糟,导致投资者在2月份的储备银行下次会议上充分考虑了50个基点的大幅降息。与此同时,最新数据显示,由于出口增加而进口下降,该国11月的贸易逆差有所收窄。此外,澳新银行罗伊摩根调查显示,12月消费者信心有所改善。在企业方面,Meridian Energy是表现最好的股票,在与Nova Energy合作运营陶波附近Rangitaiki的Te Rahui太阳能发电厂后,股价飙升5.4%。其他表现最好的包括Infratil,上涨4.8%,陶朗加港上涨4.6%。本周,该指数上涨1.2%,结束了连续两周的下跌。
New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index rose 1.2% to close at 12,904 on Friday, snapping a two-day losing streak. The worse-than-expected contraction in the New Zealand economy in the third quarter has led investors to fully price in an outsized 50bps cut at the Reserve Bank’s next meeting in February. Meanwhile, latest data revealed the country’s trade deficit narrowed in November, driven by a rise in exports while imports declined. Additionally, the ANZ-Roy Morgan survey showed consumer confidence improved in December. On the corporate front, Meridian Energy was the best performing stock, surging 5.4% after partnering with Nova Energy to operate the Te Rahui solar farm at Rangitaiki near Taupo. Other top performers included Infratil, which gained 4.8%, and Port of Tauranga, up 4.6%. For the week, the index advanced 1.2%, ending two consecutive weeks of losses.
