Stock Market in New Zealand
New Zealand - Stock Market
The economy seems to have remained on an even keel following the first quarter’s relatively soft outturn, when a cooling services sector offset solid expansions across the manufacturing and construction sectors. On the one hand, unemployment fell to a 11-year low in Q2, while average consumer confidence was slightly more upbeat and the kiwi was relatively strong in the same period. This suggests consumer demand was healthy in Q2, further reflected by robust electronic card transactions growth in the quarter. On the other hand, downbeat business sentiment, which remained deeply entrenched in pessimistic territory in Q2, boded ill for investment activity growth, while merchandise export growth slowed amid ongoing global trade spats. Turning to the second half of the year, the Central Bank’s aggressive rate cut in August should bolster growth ahead.New Zealand - Stock Market Data
