US stimulus sign off sees NZ shares surge
The S&P/NZX 50 Index rose 154.29 points, or 1.3%, to 12,426.77. Within the index, 34 stocks rose, 11 fell, and five were unchanged. Turnover was $199.7 million.
BNZ interest rate strategist Nick Symth said markets traded with a risk-on tone overnight with the S&P 500 rising to a new all-time high and the tech-heavy Nasdaq up more than 2.5%.
“The Nasdaq continues to recover from its recent sell-off, which saw it enter ‘correction territory’ earlier this week, with bond yields showing signs of stabilising,” he said.
New Zealand’s market followed this lead from Wall Street with the index having one of its largest gains so far this year.
