NZ sharemarket closes week down 0.38%

Friday 26th of July 2024

The S&P/NZX 50 Index had a rocky day, reaching an intraday high of 12,422.63 before closing at the day’s low of 12,349.47, a decline of 46.79 points or 0.38%.

The index was still 0.2% for the week. There were 82 gainers and 62 decliners over the whole market on volumes of 33.54 million share transactions worth $115.16m.

Mark Lister, investment director with Craigs Investment Partners, said given the volatility in the United States with the high-flying technology stocks selling off, the NZ market has put in a good performance.

“We have put together a string of nice gains – with increasing expectation that interest rate cuts are right on our doorstep.”
