-- Jarden周二在一份报告中指出，西太平洋银行（ASX：WBC）已“显著”提升了其增长和风险承受能力，以实现更大的资产负债表和更高的收入基础，从而提高盈利。 截至3月份的三个月内，该银行的总资本为985.4亿澳元，高于去年同期的971.4亿澳元。根据周二提交给澳大利亚证券交易所的文件，该行同期的CET1资本为569.4亿澳元，高于2025年3月季度报告的550.1亿澳元。 这家投资公司表示，西太平洋银行旨在优化其内部技术系统的UNITE计划是正确的举措，但实施起来可能并不容易。预计该计划成本更高、耗时更长，并且可能导致资产减值。 该券商的分析师也警告称，如果当前的中东冲突引发信贷周期，那么加速增长和公司风险偏好的提高可能会适得其反。 Jarden 给予该公司“减持”评级，目标价为 32 澳元。

New Zealand's Q1 Unemployment Rate Aligns With Reserve Bank Projection, ANZ Says
New Zealand's unemployment rate fell 0.1 percentage point to 5.3% in the first quarter, aligning with the Reserve Bank's February projection, according to a report released by ANZ on Wednesday.The unemployment rate was slightly lower than ANZ's expectation of 5.4%, per the report.Despite this decline, the underlying data revealed weaker-than-expected employment growth of 0.2% quarter on quarter and a slight fall in the labor participation rate.Meanwhile, wage growth remained stable and consistent with target inflation levels.While employment, hours worked, and paid hours all expanded in the quarter and landed in the ballpark of ANZ's first-quarter gross domestic product forecast of 0.8% quarter on quarter, the data is viewed as a "look in the rearview mirror" with recent global oil price shocks shifting the outlook.Figures indicate a labor market that was recovering in alignment with Reserve Bank forecasts before the oil shock, but offer very little insight into the labor market's future path.
