新西兰基准标准普尔/新西兰元50指数周五上涨0.54%，收于11938点，连续第二个交易日上涨，追随华尔街隔夜涨幅，因为美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔淡化了加息的可能性，这让投资者松了一口气，他们担心最近出现的粘性通胀迹象可能会促使加息。投资者现在将注意力转移到当天晚些时候公布的美国关键月度就业数据上，以更清晰地展望劳动力市场和利率走势。涨幅居前的是指数权重股Fisher&Paykel（1.6%）、Auckland Intl Airport（1.6%），Meridian Energy（1.5%）和Ebos Group（0.9%）。在其他股票中，Serko（3.9%）、Summerset Group（1.5%）、Restaurant Brands NZ（1.7%）和Gentrack Group（1.9%）涨幅显著。基准指数录得1.13%的周涨幅，为一个多月来的最强表现。

New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index advanced 0.54% to close at 11,938 on Friday, rising for the second consecutive session and tracking gains from Wall Street overnight as Fed Chair Jerome Powell played down the likelihood of an interest-rate hike, bringing relief to investors worried that recent signs of sticky inflation might prompt that move. Investors' focus now moves to the US key monthly jobs data due later in the day for a clearer outlook on the labor market and interest rate trajectory. Leading the gains were index heavyweights Fisher & Paykel (1.6%), Auckland Intl Airport (1.6%), Meridian Energy (1.5%), and Ebos Group (0.9%). Among other stocks, notable increases were seen from Serko (3.9%), Summerset Group (1.5%), Restaurant Brands NZ (1.7%), and Gentrack Group (1.9%). The benchmark index recorded a weekly gain of 1.13%, its strongest performance in over a month.

受公用事业、科技、医疗保健和工业股拖累，新西兰股市在前一交易日表现疲软，周五早盘下跌60.8点，跌幅0.5%，至11813.3点。在高通胀率的情况下，投资者继续消化该国失业率上升至三年来的新高。投资者预计下周将公布4月份的商业采购经理人指数，此前一个月该指数继续收缩，并创下三个月低点。在美联储保持利率并排除今年加息的可能性后，交易员们欢呼雀跃，华尔街隔夜表现乐观。早期下跌的股票包括埃博拉集团（-2.9%）、新西兰水星公司（-2.3%）、干线货运公司（-1.8%）和接触能源公司（-0.8%）。然而，本周该指数将上涨0.1%，这将是美联储决定保持利率的情况下连续第二周上涨，这表明今年没有加息的机会。

New Zeland's shares dropped 60.8 points or 0.5% to 11,813.3 on Friday morning trade after being muted in the previous session, dragged by utilities, tech sectors, healthcare, and industrials. Investors continued to digest increases in the jobless rate to a three-year high in the country amid a high inflation rate. Investors anticipate releases of business PMI for April next week after the reading continued to contract in the previous month and hit its three-month low. Capping the fall was an upbeat session on Wall Street overnight as traders cheered after the Fed kept its interest rates and ruled out interest rate hikes this year. Among early decliners were Ebos Group (-2.9%), Mercury NZ (-2.3%), Mainfreight (-1.8%), and Contact Energy (-0.8%). For the week, however, the index is heading for a 0.1% rise, which would be the 2nd straight weekly gain amid the Fed's decision to hold interest rates and signaling no chance of a rate hike this year.

新西兰元上涨至0.59美元以上，收复了本周早些时候的失地，因为在美联储保持利率稳定，美联储主席鲍威尔排除了再次加息的可能性后，美元下跌，重申了央行尽管推迟加息，但仍持宽松态度。在新西兰，本周的数据显示，第一季度失业率上升至4.3%，高于预测，为三年来的最高水平，这使新西兰储备银行更接近于先于美联储降息。投资者押注于第四季度的降息，大多数经济学家也表示同意，尽管一些人预计官方现金利率将保持不变，直到2025年。市场现在期待着澳大利亚储备银行下周的政策决定，这可能会影响国内货币政策的前景。

The New Zealand dollar rose above $0.59, recouping losses from earlier in the week as the US dollar retreated after the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady and Fed Chair Powell ruled out the possibility of another rate hike, reiterating the central bank’s easing bias despite a delay. In New Zealand, data this week showed that the unemployment rate rose to 4.3% in the first quarter, above forecasts and the highest in three years, putting the Reserve Bank of New Zealand closer to cutting rates before the Fed. Investors are betting on a fourth-quarter rate cut and most economists concur, although some expect the official cash rate to remain unchanged until 2025. Markets now look forward to the Reserve Bank of Australia’s policy decision next week, which could influence the outlook for domestic monetary policy.

新西兰基准标准普尔/新西兰元50指数周四几乎持平，收于11874点，抵消了早盘的跌幅，此前美联储决定如预期保持利率不变。此外，主席Jerome Powell表示，央行的下一步行动不太可能是加息。在经济数据方面，新西兰3月份新住宅的建筑许可数量较上月小幅下降0.2%，经季节性调整后为2931套。总体而言，股市涨跌互现，Fisher&Paykel（-0.4%）、Auckland Intl Airport（-0.5%）、Infratil（-0.2%）和Spark NZ（-0.12%）跌幅显著。同时，Meridian Energy（0.2%）、Mercury NZ（2.5%）、Mainfreight（2.4%）和Contact Energy（0.4%）为绿色。

New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index was nearly flat to close at 11,874 on Thursday, erasing losses from the morning session, following the US Federal Reserve’s decision to keep its interest rate unchanged, as expected. Moreover, Chair Jerome Powell stated that it was unlikely that the central bank’s next move would be a rate hike. On the economic data front, the number of building consents issued for new dwellings in New Zealand inched lower by 0.2% from a month earlier to a seasonally adjusted 2,931 units in March. Across the board, stocks traded mixed, with notable losses seen from Fisher & Paykel (-0.4%), Auckland Intl Airport (-0.5%), Infratil (-0.2%), and Spark NZ (-0.2%). Meanwhile, Meridian Energy (0.2%), Mercury NZ (2.5%), Mainfreight (2.4%), and Contact Energy (0.4%), were in the green.
