New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index rose 0.4% to close at 13,459 on Thursday, extending gains to reach its highest level in nearly three weeks. The local market tracked the positive momentum across most Asian equities after the US Federal Reserve delivered a widely expected 25bps rate cut. However, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said that this may be the final reduction this year due to lack of data amid the ongoing government shutdown. Meanwhile, investors awaited details from trade talks between US President Trump and Chinese President Xi. In domestic news, New Zealand’s business confidence jumped to an eight-month high in October, supported by substantial monetary easing and expectations of economic recovery. Top gainers included Fisher & Paykel (+0.9%), Fletcher Building (+1.6%), Ryman Healthcare (+0.7%), Argosy Property (+2.0%), and Channel Infrastructure (+2.7%).

New Zealand Stocks Extend Gains

Thailand’s economy is expected to grow 2.4% this year, higher than a previous forecast of 2.2%, following a series of government stimulus measures and better-than-expected exports, the finance ministry said on Thursday. Exports, a key driver of Thai growth, are now projected to rise 10% this year, up from an earlier forecast of 5.5%, said Vinit Visessuvanapoom, head of the Finance Ministry’s Fiscal Policy Office, at a press conference, according to Reuters. Foreign tourist arrivals are expected to reach 33.5 million this year, down from a forecast of 34.5 million made in July. However, gross domestic product growth is expected to slow to 2.0% next year, with exports forecast to dip 1.5%. Meanwhile, tourist arrivals are projected to rebound to 35.5 million in 2026, though still below the pre-pandemic record of nearly 40 million visitors in 2019. Last year, Southeast Asia’s second-largest economy grew 2.5%, lagging its regional peers.

Thailand Upgrades 2025 GDP Forecast to 2.4%

Malaysian palm oil futures held around MYR 4,250 per tonne after a four-day decline, as traders weighed mixed global and local cues. U.S. President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping concluded a 90-minute meeting in Busan, South Korea, on trade and tariff issues today, but no concrete results were announced. Trump said a trade deal was possible while calling Xi a tough negotiator. Traders also awaited China’s upcoming PMI data for further direction on consumption trends. Meanwhile, a weaker ringgit and stronger Dalian soyoil prompted some bargain buying after prices hit their lowest level in 12 weeks the day before. In top producer Indonesia, palm oil inventories fell 1% from the prior month to 2.54 million metric tons in August, according to the country’s palm oil association, GAPKI. However, the group projected full-year output at about 56 million metric tons, exceeding earlier forecasts.

Palm Oil Stabilizes After Four-Day Drop

The BSE Sensex fell 377 points, or 0.4%, to 84,617 in morning trade on Thursday, pulling back from a 13-month high reached a day earlier, as traders assessed the Fed’s decision to cut rates by 25 bps while signaling a pause on further reductions this year. Caution also prevailed ahead of a meeting between US President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping later today. Investors also focused on Q2 earnings results, with Adani Power, TPC, and Hyundai Motor set to release their reports later in the day. However, losses were capped after Trump expressed confidence on Wednesday that a US-India trade deal would be reached soon. Most sectors traded in the red, led by pharmaceuticals and healthcare, which each fell 1.3%, dragged down by Dr. Reddy’s Lab (-4.7%) after it received a notice of non-compliance from Canada’s Pharmaceutical Drugs Directorate for its Semaglutide injection. Meanwhile, tech stocks fell 0.7%. Other early losers included Sun Pharmaceuticals (-2.0%) and Power Grid (-1.2%).
