美国股市期货周一下跌，投资者为主要公司的公司盈利报告和美联储本周的关键利率决定做好准备。与三大指数挂钩的期货合约均下跌至少0.1%。上周，道琼斯指数上涨1.81%，标准普尔500指数上涨2.47%，纳斯达克综合指数上涨4.32%，由于通胀放缓、经济数据疲软以及美国企业盈利不一，这三大基准都有望在1月底上涨，这进一步证明了央行政策收紧步伐放缓的理由。投资者现在正在等待美联储周三的政策决定，普遍预计美联储将小幅加息25个基点，同时投资者将关注央行的未来走向。苹果、Alphabet、亚马逊、Meta Platforms、埃克森美孚和辉瑞等主要公司也将于本周公布财报。

US stock futures eased on Monday as investors braced for corporate earnings reports from major firms and a pivotal interest rate decision from the Federal Reserve this week. Futures contracts tied to the three major indexes were all down at least 0.1%. Last week, the Dow gained 1.81%, the S&P 500 jumped 2.47% and the Nasdaq Composite rallied 4.32%, with all three benchmarks on track to end January higher as slowing inflation, weakening economic data and mixed corporate earnings in the US reinforced the case for a slower pace of central bank policy tightening. Investors now await the Fed’s policy decision on Wednesday where it is widely expected to deliver a smaller 25 basis point rate increase, while investors will watch for clues on the central bank’s path forward. Major companies are also slated to report earnings this week including Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta Platforms, Exxon Mobil and Pfizer.

周一，标准普尔/ASX 200指数微涨0.1%，至7500点附近，徘徊在9个月来的最高水平附近，美国通胀放缓增强了人们对美联储将放缓政策紧缩步伐的猜测，尽管经济担忧依然存在。科技股领涨，包括Xero（3.8%）、Block Inc（5.1%）和Wisetech Global（5.4%）。IDP Education（3.1%）、Woodside Energy（0.9%）和Pilbara Minerals（0.6%）等指数权重股也大幅上涨。与此同时，保险公司IAG和Suncorp分别下跌3.7%和2.4%，因担心新西兰洪水造成损失。其他主要指数成分也出现下跌，如必和必拓集团（-0.6%）、AGL能源（-1.1%）和Resmed Inc（-5.5%）。

The S&P/ASX 200 Index edged up 0.1% to around 7,500 on Monday, hovering near its highest levels in nine months as slowing US inflation bolstered bets that the Federal Reserve will slow the pace of its policy tightening, though economic concerns remain. Technology stocks led the advance, including Xero (3.8%), Block Inc (5.1%) and Wisetech Global (5.4%). Notable gains were also seen from index heavyweights such as IDP Education (3.1%), Woodside Energy (0.9%) and Pilbara Minerals (0.6%). Meanwhile, insurance firms IAG and Suncorp tumbled 3.7% and 2.4%, respectively, amid fears of losses due to floods in New Zealand. Declines were also seen from other major index components such as BHP Group (-0.6%), AGL Energy (-1.1%) and Resmed Inc (-5.5%).

周一中午左右，新西兰股市几乎持平，收于12043点，因交易员在本周美联储货币政策会议之前权衡了更多美国数据。周五的数据显示，美国12月核心个人消费支出通胀上升4.4%，为2021 10月以来的最低水平；而个人支出则连续第二个月下降。市场参与者也在等待中国市场在为期一周的春节假期后重新开放。根据当地数据，2022年新西兰的贸易逆差几乎是前一年的两倍，出口增长14%，进口增长23%。周五，澳新银行50指数收于9-1/2个月来的最高水平，受惠灵顿新政府将竭尽全力缓解生活成本危机的乐观情绪提振。此外，人们越来越希望美国央行能够设计一个软着陆，并减缓其积极紧缩的步伐。非能源矿产和健康服务的收益被耐用消费品、工业品和运输业的损失抵消。

Equities in New Zealand was almost flat at 12,043 around midday on Monday, as traders weighed more US data ahead of the Fed's monetary policy meeting this week. Friday's reading showed that US Core PCE inflation in December rose by 4.4%, the least since October 2021; while personal spending fell for the second straight month. Market participants also awaited the reopening of China's markets after a week-long Lunar New Year holiday. On local data, New Zealand's trade shortfall in 2022 came in nearly twice the amount the year before with exports growing 14% while imports jumped 23%. The ANZ 50 Friday ended at its highest level in 9-1/2 months, boosted by optimism that new administration in Wellington will do everything to ease the cost of living crisis. Also, hopes mounted that US central bank can engineer a soft landing and slow its pace of aggressive tightening. Gains in non-energy minerals and health services were offset by losses in consumer durables, industrials, and transport.

新西兰2022年12月的贸易逆差为4.75亿新西兰元，为七个月来最低，低于2021 12月的9.93亿新西兰元。商品出口增长11%，达到67亿新西兰元，主要是奶粉、黄油和奶酪；酪蛋白和酪蛋白酸盐；和葡萄酒。与此同时，由于飞机和零部件的购买，货物进口增长了1.8%，达到72亿新西兰元。考虑到2022年全年，出口额跃升14%，至722亿新西兰元，主要是乳制品、肉类和其他动物产品的销售，尽管许多主要出口商品数量有所减少，但价格有所上涨。然而，占出口总额28%的奶粉、黄油和奶酪销售额增长了21%，达到206亿新西兰元的新高。这一增长是由价格驱动的，数量下降了7.3%。在价格居高不下的情况下，总进口也大幅增长23%，达到867亿新西兰元，使2022年的贸易赤字达到145亿新西兰元。这几乎是2021 71亿新西兰元缺口的两倍。

New Zealand recorded a trade deficit of NZD 475 million in December 2022, the lowest in seven months, and below a NZD 990.3 million gap in December of 2021. Goods exports rose 11% to NZD 6.7 billion, led by milk powder, butter, and cheese; casein and caseinates; and wine. Meanwhile, goods imports increased at a slower 1.8% to NZD 7.2 billion, prompted by purchases of aircraft and parts. Considering full 2022, exports jumped 14% to NZD 72.2 billion, led by sales of dairy, meat and other animal products although many major export commodities eased in volume but saw price increases. Yet, sales of milk powder, butter, and cheese which account for 28% of total exports jumped 21% to reach a new high of NZD 20.6 billion. This increase was price driven, as quantities fell 7.3%. Total imports also rose sharply by 23% to NZD 86.7 billion amid high prices, pushing the 2022 trade deficit to NZD 14.5 billion, nearly twice the NZD 7.1 billion gap in 2021.
