FX.co ★ New Zealand Stocks Set to Close Week on High Note

The NZX 50 remained nearly unchanged at 12,646 during Friday morning's session, following upward movement over the previous three sessions. While there were gains in the healthcare and process industries, these were balanced out by declines in the non-energy minerals and industrial services sectors. Despite this, the markets are set to achieve a second consecutive week of gains, with an overall increase of approximately 0.7% so far. This positive trend is bolstered by the alleviation of trade tensions between the U.S. and China, which is New Zealand's biggest trading partner.
