新西兰股市在上一交易日上涨后，周五早盘下跌46点，跌幅0.4%，至11826点，主要受科技、金融和耐用消费品拖累。由于新订单再次收缩，新西兰商业业绩连续第14个月萎缩，新的经济数据打压了市场情绪。华尔街隔夜表现乐观，标普和纳斯达克连续第四个交易日创下历史新高，为跌幅画上句号，因为美国通胀低于预期，增加了美联储今年降息的押注。2002年5月，新西兰食品通胀率降至0.2%，为2018年9月以来的最低水平。本周，新西兰元50指数将下跌0.3%，这将是连续第二周下跌，因为在大陆生产者价格持续下跌后，交易员质疑中国经济复苏。早期下跌的是Vulcan Steel（-3.7%），其次是澳新银行集团（-1.9%）和奥克兰国际机场（-1.1%）。

Equities in New Zealand fell 46 points or 0.4% to 11,826 on Friday morning trade after gaining in the prior session, mainly dragged by tech, financials, and consumer durables. The fresh economic data pressured sentiment after the business performance in New Zealand continued to shrink for the 14th straight month due to a renewed contraction in new orders. Capping the fall was an upbeat session on Wall Street overnight, with S&P and Nasdaq hitting a new record high for a 4th straight session overnight, as softer-than-expected US inflation raised bets the Fed to cut rates this year. New Zealand food inflation eased to 0.2% in May 2002, the lowest since September 2018.

Early losers were Vulcan Steel (-3.7%), followed by ANZ Group (-1.9%) and Auckland International Airport (-1.1%).

新西兰的年度食品通胀率在一个月前回升至0.8%后，于2024年5月放缓至0.2%。这是自2018年9月以来消费者价格的最小涨幅，受水果和蔬菜（-11.4%对-1.1%）以及肉类、家禽和鱼类（-1.2%对0%）价格下跌的推动，这是三年多来的首次价格下跌。然而，造成这一增长的主要原因是：餐厅餐和即食食品（4.8%对0.1%）；杂货食品（1.3%对-0.6%）和非酒精饮料（2.7%对1.4%）。

The annual food inflation in New Zealand slowed to 0.2% in May 2024, after picking up to 0.8% in a month earlier.

However, main contributors to the rise were: restaurant meals and ready-to-eat food (4.8% vs 0.1%); grocery food (1.3% vs -0.6%) and non-alcoholic beverage (2.7% vs 1.4%).
