周五早盘，新西兰元50指数下跌22点，跌幅0.2%，至13039点，与前一交易日持平，主要受医疗保健、材料和能源拖累。在下周中国PMI数据和国内数据（包括贸易报告和商业前景指数）公布之前，交易员持谨慎态度。然而，在唐纳德·特朗普总统发表声明，他将推动降息并敦促欧佩克降低原油价格后，华尔街隔夜的乐观会议限制了损失。此外，在2024年第一季度年度通胀率稳定在近四年低点后，新西兰储备银行降息的希望有所增加。早期下跌的包括新西兰南港（-1.6%）、特纳汽车集团（-1.5%）和斐雪派克（-1.3%）。在特朗普总统表示他正在考虑从2月1日开始对中国进口商品征收10%的关税后，市场在上周因担心全球关税战而上涨，本周市场有望下跌0.7%。
The NZX 50 fell 22 points, or 0.2%, to 13,039 in Friday morning trade, halting gains from the prior session, mainly dragged down by healthcare, materials, and energy. Traders were cautious ahead of a PMI reading from China next week and domestic data, including trade reports and the business outlook index. An upbeat session on Wall Street overnight, however, capped the losses following a statement from President Donald Trump that he would push for interest-rate cuts and urged OPEC to lower crude prices. Also, hopes of interest-rate cuts by the RBNZ were raised after annual inflation remained steady at a nearly four-year low in Q1 of 2024. Among early losers were South Port NZ (-1.6%), Turners Automotive Group (-1.5%), and Fisher & Paykel (-1.3%). For the week, markets are on track for a 0.7% drop, after rising in the previous week amid concerns about a global tariff war, after President Trump indicated he was considering imposing 10% tariffs on Chinese imports starting February 1.
