周五中午左右，新西兰元50指数下跌19点，跌幅0.2%，至12749点，受医疗保健、能源和消费者服务板块下跌的影响，停止了前一交易日的上涨。由于国内需求进一步疲软，CPI和PPI数据令人失望，交易员在今天晚些时候中国公布包括GDP在内的一系列经济数据之前持谨慎态度。该指数在前两周上涨后，本周将以低点收盘，迄今已下跌约0.7%。尽管如此，周四华尔街涨跌互现，道琼斯指数和纳斯达克指数均以绿色收盘，这得益于半导体股的上涨和稳健的零售销售数据。早期下跌的包括权重股新西兰航空（-0.9%）、奥克兰国际机场（-0.5%）、Meridian Energy（-0.3%）和斐雪派克（-0.2%）。投资者现在预计将于周一公布9月份的贸易数据，因为新西兰与加拿大在乳制品出口商进入加拿大市场的贸易争端不断升级。
The NZX 50 fell 19 points, or 0.2%, to 12,749 around midday on Friday, halting gains from the prior session, weighed down by losses in healthcare, energy, and consumer services. Traders were cautious ahead of a slew of economic data from China later today, including GDP, after disappointing CPI and PPI figures amid further weak domestic demand. The index is set to close the week on a low note, following rises in the prior two weeks, falling around 0.7% so far. Still, a mixed close on Wall Street Thursday capped the losses, with both the Dow Jones and Nasdaq ending in the green, boosted by gains in semiconductor stocks and solid retail sales data. Among early decliners were the heavyweight Air New Zealand (-0.9%), Auckland International Airport (-0.5%), Meridian Energy (-0.3%), and Fisher & Paykel (-0.2%). Investors now anticipate the September trade data, due Monday, amid an escalating trade dispute with Canada over access for New Zealand's dairy exporters to the Canadian market.
