周二，新西兰元50指数上涨87点，涨幅0.7%，收于13075点，从早盘交易的低迷中复苏，第三个交易日收于绿色。尽管由于即将到来的假期，交易日缩短，但市场仍创下12月初以来的最高水平。周一，华尔街的积极领先最终提振了交易员，消除了人们对美国消费者情绪意外下降的担忧，这是三个月来的首次下降。投资者还希望，2024年第三季度新西兰的经济衰退将导致央行在2月份的会议上进一步下调利率。11月，董事会将利率下调50个基点至4.25%，这是今年第三次降息。医疗保健、房地产和公用事业领涨，Ryman Healthcare（3.5%）、新西兰南港（2.8%）、新西兰水星（1.7%）和斐雪派克医疗保健（1.5%）大幅上涨。市场将于周三和周四因圣诞假期休市。
The NZX 50 rose 87 points or 0.7% to close at 13,075 on Tuesday, recovering from subdued activity in early trading to end in the green for the third session. Markets notched their highest level since early December despite a shortened trading day due to the upcoming holiday. Traders eventually were buoyed by a positive lead from Wall Street Monday, dismissing concerns from the unexpected dip in US consumer mood, which marked its first decline in three months. Investors were also hopeful that the economic recession in New Zealand during Q3 of 2024 would lead the central bank to further trim interest rates in its February meeting. In November, the board reduced interest rates by 50bps to 4.25%, marking the third cut this year. Healthcare, real estate, and utilities led the gains, with significant gains from Ryman Healthcare (3.5%), South Port NZ (2.8%), Mercury NZ (1.7%), and Fisher & Paykel Healthcare (1.5%). The market will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday for the Christmas break.
