英镑/纽币 (GBPNZD) 加自选

新西兰元稳定在0.61美元附近，美元在经济报告喜忧参半后上涨。周四，美国数据显示，每周首次申请失业救济人数下降，房屋开工和建筑许可证令人失望，进出口价格涨幅超过预期，工业生产意外停滞。此外，克利夫兰联储主席梅斯特和里士满联储主席巴金的言论支持了美元，他们表示利率应该在更长时间内保持较高水平。在新西兰，生产者通胀率仍然上升，第一季度投入和产出价格的上涨幅度超过预期。交易员将密切关注下周的新西兰储备银行货币政策会议，预计会议将把关键利率保持在5.50%。

The New Zealand dollar steadied around $0.61 as the US dollar rose after mixed economic reports. On Thursday, US data showed that weekly initial jobless claims dropped, housing starts and building permits disappointed, import and export prices increased more than expected, and industrial production unexpectedly stalled. Also, comments from Cleveland Fed President Mester and Richmond Fed President Barkin, saying interest rates should stay higher for longer, supported the greenback. In New Zealand, producer inflation remained elevated, with input and output prices rising more than anticipated in the first quarter. Traders will keep an eye on the RBNZ monetary policy meeting next week, which is expected to hold its key interest rate at 5.50%.

新西兰股市周五早盘持平于11726.2点左右，因材料和工业股的上涨抵消了公用事业和消费必需品的下跌，周四创下11月2日以来的最大单日涨幅。在今天公布一系列中国经济数据（包括工业产出和零售额）之前，人们保持了谨慎，并预计中国下周可能会确定基准贷款利率。交易员们也在等待新西兰储备银行的货币政策决定，市场预计央行将在下周连续第七次会议将其官方现金利率保持在5.5%。在数据方面，第一季度生产者通胀率降至0.7%。Skellerup Holdings上涨2.6%，Hallenstein Glasson Holdings上涨2.4%，Mercury NZ和Westpac Banking Corp分别下跌1.1%和0.8%。然而，由于经济数据喜忧参半，围绕美联储货币政策轨迹的不确定性，NXZ 50本周将下跌0.2%，这将是第二周下跌。

New Zealand shares were flat at around 11,726.2 in early trade on Friday, as a rise in materials and industrials offset falls in utilities and consumer staples after registering its biggest one-day gain since November 2nd Thursday. Caution built ahead of announcing a series of China's economic data, including industrial output and retail sales today, and anticipate China May fix benchmark lending rates next week. Traders also await the RBNZ monetary policy decisions, with the market expecting the central bank to hold its official cash rate at 5.5% for the 7th straight meeting next week. On the data front, producer inflation slows to 0.7% in Q1. Skellerup Holdings advanced 2.6%, Hallenstein Glasson Holdings rose 2.4%, while Mercury NZ and Westpac Banking Corp dropped by 1.1% and 0.8% each. However, the NXZ 50 is heading for a fall of 0.2% for the week, which would be the 2nd weekly decline, rattled by uncertainty surrounding the Fed monetary policy trajectory amid mixed economic data.

截至2024年3月的三个月里，新西兰生产者投入品价格季度环比上涨0.7%，而上一季度上涨0.9%。生产者支付价格上涨的主要原因是：电力、天然气、水和废物服务（第四季度为9.2%，而第四季度则为4.7%）；建筑业（0.3%对0.5%）；租赁、雇佣和房地产服务（0.4%对0.2%）；另一方面，制造业的成本下降（-0.5%对1.4%）；农业、林业和渔业（-0.2%对0.3%）。

Producer input prices in New Zealand increased by 0.7 percent quarter-on-quarter in the three months to March of 2024, compared to a 0.9 percent rise in the preceding quarter. Main contributors to the increase in prices paid by producers were: Electricity, gas, water, and waste services (9.2% vs 4.7% in Q4); Construction (0.3% vs 0.5%); Rental, hiring, and real estate services (0.4% vs 0.2%); On the other hand, cost decrease for Manufacturing (-0.5% vs 1.4%); Agriculture, forestry, and fishing (-0.2% vs 0.3%).

由于投资者密切关注公司盈利，富时100指数周四收盘时略低于平线。易捷航空股价下跌6%，此前易捷航空在繁忙的夏季前公布了上半年的预期亏损，以及首席执行官约翰·伦德格伦计划于2025年初离职的消息。其他显著下跌包括翠鸟（-3%）、葛兰素史克（-1.8%）、英国石油公司（-1.6%）和乐购（-1.2%），因为它们的交易没有股息。从积极的方面来看，英国电信集团飙升17%，领涨该指数，该电信公司首席执行官为未来五年的自由现金流增长设定了雄心勃勃的目标。

The FTSE 100 ended the day slightly below the flatline on Thursday, as investors closely monitored company earnings. EasyJet saw a 6% decrease after reporting anticipated first-half losses just before the busy summer season, along with the news of CEO Johan Lundgren's planned departure in early 2025. Other notable declines included Kingfisher (-3%), GSK (-1.8%), BP (-1.6%), and Tesco (-1.2%) as they traded without dividend entitlements. On a positive note, BT Group soared 17%, spearheading gains on the index with the telecom company's CEO setting ambitious targets for free cash flow growth in the next five years.
