周四中午左右，新西兰元兑50指数下跌28点，跌幅0.2%，至13015点，此前该指数在前一交易日持平，因为交易员在美联储会议纪要显示2025年将逐步降息后仍持谨慎态度。在当选总统唐纳德·特朗普考虑宣布国家经济紧急状态以支持其拟议的关税后，交易员们对全球通货膨胀感到担忧。在新西兰最大贸易伙伴中国公布消费者和生产者价格之前，人们也越来越谨慎，市场预计12月通胀率将降至0.1%，为9个月来最低，突显出中国内地持续疲软的国内需求。与此同时，生产者价格预计将进一步下降。医疗保健、能源矿产、公用事业和材料类股下跌，雷曼医疗和斐雪派克分别下跌1.5%和0.7%。Contact Energy（-0.7%）和F&C Investment（-0.4%）也出现了显著亏损。
The NZX 50 dropped 28 points, or 0.2%, to 13,015 around noon on Thursday, after being flat in the previous session as traders remained cautious after the Fed's meeting minutes indicated a gradual reduction in interest rates throughout 2025. Traders are concerned about global inflation after President-elect Donald Trump considered declaring a national economic emergency to support his proposed tariffs. Caution was also building ahead of the release of consumer and producer prices in New Zealand's top trading partner, China, with the market expecting inflation to ease to 0.1% in December, the least in nine months, highlighting persistent weak domestic demand in the mainland. Meanwhile, producer prices are expected to decline further. Healthcare, energy minerals, utilities, and materials were among the bottom movers, with Rayman Healthcare and Fisher & Paykel falling by 1.5% and 0.7%, respectively. Notable losses were also seen for Contact Energy (-0.7%) and F&C Investment (-0.4%).
