NZ shares break losing streak

Monday 31st of May 2021

The S&P/NZX 50 Index rose 121.84 points, or 1%, to 12,304.09. Within the index, nine stocks fell and 39 rose.

The index finished last week down almost 9% year-to-date after having just five positive days in the past month - meanwhile US indices gained 1-to-2% across the past week and are up more than 10% this year.

This week investors seemed to sense opportunity and sent the vast majority of stocks up in a broad-based rally.

Port of Tauranga led the market higher, jumping 3.9% to $7.49. Tourism Holdings climbed 3.6% to $2.58, followed by Pacific Edge which climbed 3.6% to $1.19 - just below its record high.
