The S&P/NZX 50 Index fell 30.12 points, or 0.2%, to 12,620.52. Within the index, 24 stocks fell, 23 rose, and three were unchanged. Turnover was $168.7 million.
The infant formula exporter A2 Milk Company led the index lower as it fell another 5.6% to $7.46 today. The stock was last below $7.50 in April 2017.
