1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Today, all stock indices fluctuated within a narrow range. The total trading volume of the Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Beijing stock markets was 2001.0 billion - 2037.0 billion yuan. Due to the approaching holiday, investors' trading willingness was relatively weak. The inflation data for January showed that CPI continued to grow year - on - year, and the year - on - year decline of PPI narrowed.

Overall, the risk appetite of the stock market was cautious before the holiday, and stock indices mainly fluctuated within a range.

新西兰西 太平洋首席经济学家Kelly Eckhold表示，新西兰联储在下周的政策会议上可能会维持利率不 变，但会承认经济前景正在改善。官方现金利率预计将维持在2.25%，新西兰联储可能会将预期的首次 加息时间提前至12月。Eckhold补充称，至关重要的是，由于持续的产能过剩、金融环境收紧以及食品 和燃料价格通胀下降，新西兰联储的通胀预期将趋向2%，从而削弱了央行迅速恢复加息的必要性。 ...
