-- 紐西蘭房地產估值公司Cotality週五表示,儘管年初銷售量疲軟,且中東衝突對全球經濟造成壓力,但紐西蘭全國房價在4月仍連續第三個月上漲,略微超出預期,小幅上漲0.1%。 根據Cotality紐西蘭最新的房屋價值指數,4月全國房價中位數為809,101紐西蘭元,較1月上漲0.6%,但仍比2022年的最高峰低近17%。 全國各地的房價成長並不均衡,奧克蘭和威靈頓等主要城市的房價仍小幅下跌0.1%。相比之下,達尼丁和漢密爾頓的房價分別上漲了0.8%和0.3%。 Cotality紐西蘭首席房地產經濟學家凱爾文戴維森表示:“總而言之,房地產市場總體上仍處於穩定狀態,購房者——至少是那些工作穩定的購房者——對目前的市場狀況感到滿意。” 央行正密切關注中東衝突可能引發的第二輪價格波動,尤其關注薪資上漲或通膨預期上升的情況。市場普遍認為,央行最快可能在7月上調官方現金利率。 戴維森補充道,儘管如此,抵押貸款利率逐步上升並不令人意外,因為溫和的房價漲幅可能會趨於平緩甚至逆轉。

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Sell Opinion On Shares Of Edison International
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We keep our 12-month target at $48, 7.9x our next-12-month EPS view, a discount to peers to reflect the Eaton Fire liability and weak investor sentiment toward California utilities. We lift our 2026 EPS view by $0.03 to $6.11 and 2027's by $0.26 to $6.52. We see EIX facing material near-term uncertainty from the Eaton Fire, with the company explicitly unable to estimate a range of losses despite having recorded $1.3 billion in settlements as of Q1 2026. We think the company's aggressive capital program and commitment to no new equity through 2030 are supported by strong regulatory visibility, but rising interest expense and potential affordability pushback create execution risk to the 5%-7% long term EPS growth target. With $5.5 billion in debt maturities over 2026-2027 and elevated current market rates, we see refinancing risk with material increases in interest expense as a possibility. In our opinion, shares reflect a meaningful tilt toward risk rather than reward. We remain at Sell.
Australia's Manufacturing Sector Returns to Growth in April Despite Supply-Chain Disruptions
Australia's manufacturing sector returned to expansion in April, though the improvement was outweighed by major supply-chain disruptions and a sharp rise in costs linked to fuel and freight pressures arising from the Middle East conflict, according to a survey by S&P Global published Friday.The headline seasonally adjusted S&P Global Australia Manufacturing Purchasing Manager's Index (PMI) rose to 51.3 in April from 49.8 in March, above the 50-point mark separating contraction and expansion.The headline PMI was mainly driven by longer supplier delivery times and higher stocks of purchases, while new orders, output, and employment remained in negative territory.The supply chain disruption in April was largely driven by the Middle East conflict and international freight delays, with fuel shortages and rising fuel costs pushing input prices higher and resulting in the fastest inflation since March 2022, according to the report.Rising input costs and war-related uncertainty pushed output price inflation to a decade high and led to a third straight monthly decline in manufacturing production.New orders kept falling, driven partly by weaker foreign demand, while manufacturers still raised purchasing activity and input stocks in April, likely to build safety buffers against future price increases and supply-chain delays despite lower output needs, per the report.Employment declined for the second consecutive month due to weaker new orders, with firms not replacing departing staff and cutting working hours, while backlogs of work and finished goods inventories also continued to decrease.Business confidence fell for a third straight month to its lowest since July 2024 amid the Middle East conflict, inflation, and cost-of-living pressures, though hopes of post-conflict demand recovery supported year-ahead production optimism, the report added.
