新西兰元跌至0.593美元左右，回吐了前一交易日的一些涨幅，因为美元在本周美联储政策会议前反弹。在经历了一系列棘手的通货膨胀和美联储官员的鹰派言论后，人们普遍预计美国央行将保持其关键利率不变。在新西兰，澳新银行的调查显示，由于活动和盈利指标减弱，4月份商业信心下降。新西兰储备银行本月将官方现金利率保持在5.5%，强调需要在一段持续的时间内保持政策限制，以使通胀率回到1-3%的目标区间。2024年前三个月，该国的年通货膨胀率降至4%，为2021年第二季度以来的最低水平。

The New Zealand dollar fell to around $0.593, giving back some gains in the previous session as the US dollar rebounded ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy meeting this week. The US central bank is widely expected to leave its key interest rate unchanged following a batch of sticky inflation and hawkish remarks from Fed officials. In New Zealand, ANZ bank survey showed that business confidence fell in April amid a weakening in activity and profitability indicator. The RBNZ kept the official cash rate at 5.5% this month, emphasizing the need to keep policy restrictive for a sustained period to return inflation to its 1-3% target band. The country’s annual inflation eased to 4% in the first three months of 2024, the lowest since Q2 of 2021.

新西兰基准标准普尔/新西兰元50指数周二上涨0.35%，收于11958点，连续第二个交易日上涨，投资者正在等待美联储本周的政策决定，以更清楚地了解美国央行的利率走势。澳新银行的一项调查显示，在国内，由于高利率和低迷的经济抑制了家庭支出和公司利润，新西兰的商业信心在4月份跌至七个月来的最低水平。在企业方面，Serko股价飙升17.4%，此前该公司与Booking.com签署了为期5年的合作协议，并公布2023财年总收入增长48%。指数权重股也出现了显著上涨，如Fisher&Paykel（1.7%）、Spark NZ（1.3%）、Meridian Energy（1.7%），A2 Milk（3.1%）和Mercury NZ（1.8%）。

New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index rose 0.35% to close at 11,958 on Tuesday, rising for the second consecutive session, as investors await the Federal Reserve’s policy decision due this week to gain a clearer insight on the US central bank's interest rate path. At home, New Zealand’s business confidence fell to a seven-month low in April as high interest rates and a sluggish economy curbed household spending and company profits, an ANZ Bank survey showed. On the corporate front, Serko surged 17.4%, after the company signed a 5-year partnership renewal with Booking.com and posted a 48% increase in its total income for fiscal year 2023. Notable gains were also seen from index heavyweights such as Fisher & Paykel (1.7%), Spark NZ (1.3%), Meridian Energy (1.7%), The A2 Milk (3.1%), and Mercury NZ (1.8%).

新西兰澳新银行商业展望指数从一个月前的22.9跌至2024年4月的14.9，这是连续第三个月下降，也是自去年9月以来的最低值。最新的结果突显出，由于利率上升，经济明显疲软。预期自身活动大幅下降（14.3比3月的22.5），出口意向也大幅下降（4.3比7.8）。与此同时，投资意向（-3.5对3.9）和就业意向（-0.9对3.5）转为负值，而定价意向继续上升（46.9对45.1）。此外，成本预期达到七个月来的最高水平（76.7对74.6），工资压力持续存在（75.5对80.5），利润预期更为负面（-9.8对-3.8）。此外，产能利用率明显较低（9.2比11.7）。与此同时，通胀预期变化不大（3.76%对3.8%）。住宅建设大幅下降（-8.6比7.4），而商业建设显著改善（2.6比-3.3）。

The ANZ Business Outlook Index in New Zealand tumbled to 14.9 in April 2024 from 22.9 a month earlier, pointing to the third straight month of drop and marking the lowest reading since last September.

新西兰股市在前一交易日收盘上涨后，周二早盘下跌18.57点，跌幅0.16%，至11897.67点，因为市场参与者在第一季度失业数据发布前持谨慎态度，该数据可能为新西兰储备银行的政策轨迹提供线索。路透社调查显示，市场预计失业率将升至4.3%，为三年来最高。交易员们还预计美联储的利率决定和4月份的商业信心数据，此前美联储在3月份创下了6个月来的新低。限制跌幅的是美国市场，此前华尔街隔夜收盘走高，交易员在美联储政策利率决定前为繁忙的一周盈利报告做好准备。主要消费品、房地产和工业股拖累指数，权重股埃博集团（-0.74%）和澳新银行集团（-0.20%）明显疲软。其他早期跌幅较大的有Infratil（-1.31%）、新西兰南港（-0.89%）、A2 Milk（-0.77%）和Gentrack Group（-0.49%）。

Shares in New Zealand dropped 18.57 or 0.16% to 11,897.67 in early trade on Tuesday, after closing higher in the prior session, as market participants were cautious ahead of releases of the unemployment data for Q1 that could clues to the RBNZ's policy trajectory. Reuters poll showed the market expecting the jobless rate to rise to 4.3%, the highest in three years. Traders also anticipate the Fed interest rate decisions and the country's business confidence figures for April, after hitting its six-month low in March. Limiting the fall was the US market, after Wall Street closed higher overnight, as traders braced for busy week earnings reports ahead of the Fed policy rates decisions. Consumer staples, real estate, and industrials weighed the index, with notable weakness from Heavyweight stocks Ebos Group (-0.74%) and ANZ group (-0.20%). Other early decliners were Infratil (-1.31%), South Port New Zealand (-0.89%), A2 Milk (-0.77%), and Gentrack Group (-0.49%).
