周二中午,由于科技和通信服务的下滑抵消了能源、房地产和公用事业的上涨,新西兰元50指数几乎持平,交易在12985左右。交易员在交易时间缩短的情况下持谨慎态度,此前该指数在上一交易日触及12月初以来的最高水平,预计假期期间交易将保持清淡。在中国央行将一年期中期贷款利率维持在2%两个月不变后,在即将作出决定之前,人们也变得谨慎起来。在美国,受大型科技股和半导体股强劲上涨的推动,华尔街收盘上涨。奥克兰国际机场下跌0.7%,Gentrack Group下跌1.4%,Infratil下跌0.6%,而新西兰南港、Ryman Healthcare和西太平洋银行分别上涨1.5%、1.9%和0.5%。新西兰股市将于周三和周四因圣诞节休市。
The NZX 50 was almost flat, trading around 12,985 at noon on Tuesday, as a slide in tech and communication services offset gains in energy, real estate, and utilities. Traders were cautious amid shortened trading after the index hit its highest level since early December in the previous session, with trading expected to remain thin during the holiday period. Caution also built ahead of the PBoC's upcoming decision on the one-year medium-term lending facility after two months of keeping it unchanged at 2%. In the US, Wall Street closed in the green, boosted by robust gains in Big Tech and semiconductor stocks. Auckland International Airport fell 0.7%, Gentrack Group dropped 1.4%, and Infratil shrank 0.6%, while South Port New Zealand, Ryman Healthcare, and Westpac Banking Corp rose by 1.5%, 1.9%, and 0.5% respectively. The New Zealand market will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday for Christmas.
