周四,新西兰基准标准普尔/新西兰元50指数上涨1.75%,收于11728点,结束了连续三天的下跌,创下自11月2日以来的最强单日涨幅。由于最新的美国经济报告提振了美联储今年降息的前景,几乎所有行业都出现了上涨。4月份,美国整体通胀率和核心通胀率均有所放缓,表明第二季度通胀率已恢复下降趋势。此外,4月份的零售额没有变化,与市场预测相悖。医疗保健板块上涨,Fisher&Paykel(1.8%)、Ebos Group(1.1%)和Ryman Healthcare(8.8%)领涨。公用事业股也上涨,即Infratil(3%)、Mercury NZ(2.7%)、Contact Energy(2.4%)和Meridian Energy(2.7%)。此外,恒天然公司的股价上涨5.9%,原因是该公司计划全部或部分出售其全球消费者部门、恒天然大洋洲部门和斯里兰卡业务。
New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index climbed 1.75% to close at 11,728 on Thursday, snapping a three-day losing streak and marking its strongest one-day gain since November 2nd, with almost all sectors posting increases as the latest US economic reports bolstered the prospects for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates this year. Both headline and core inflation rates in the US slowed in April, indicating that inflation has resumed a downward trend in the second quarter. Additionally, retail sales were unchanged in April, defying market forecasts. Healthcare sector gained, led by Fisher & Paykel (1.8%), Ebos Group (1.1%), and Ryman Healthcare (8.8%). Utility stocks also went up, namely Infratil (3%), Mercury NZ (2.7%), Contact Energy (2.4%), and Meridian Energy (2.7%). Moreover, shares of Fonterra Co-operative rose 5.9% on planning a full or partial sale of its global consumer unit, its Fonterra Oceania unit and Sri Lankan business.
