周三，新西兰基准标准普尔/新西兰元50指数上涨1.01%，收于11835点，连续第二个交易日上涨，受科技股和其他大盘股上涨的提振。投资者现在正在等待美国PCE价格指数，这是美联储最喜欢的通胀指标，定于周五发布，该指数可能会为美联储的降息轨迹提供进一步线索。彭博社周三援引财政部长卡拉利·麦克利什的话报道称，在国内方面，新西兰财政部预计将进一步减少支出并增加收入，以支持疲软的经济状况并履行政府的债务义务。在指数权重股中，Meridian Energy（3.6%）、Spark NZ（1.5%）、Mercury NZ（1.7%）、Mainfreight（2%）和A2 Milk（2.7%）涨幅显著。相反，零售商KMD下跌2.8%，因分析师在上周疲软的交易更新后下调了预测。
New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index climbed 1.01% to close at 11,835 on Wednesday, rising for the second straight session, buoyed by gains in technology and other large-cap stocks. Investors are now awaiting the US PCE price index, the Federal Reserve's favoured gauge of inflation, slated for release on Friday, which could provide further clues on the Fed's rate cut trajectory. On the domestic front, New Zealand's Treasury Department is expected to further reduce spending and raise revenue to support weak economic conditions and meet the government's debt obligations, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday, citing Treasury Secretary Caralee McLiesh. Among index heavyweights, notable gains were seen from Meridian Energy (3.6%), Spark NZ (1.5%), Mercury NZ (1.7%), Mainfreight (2%), and the A2 Milk (2.7%). Conversely, retailer KMD fell 2.8% as analysts downgraded forecasts following last week's weak trading update.
