New Zealand stocks rose 57 points, or 0.5%, to 12,206 during morning trade on Friday, touching their lowest level since early April. The market gained for the 2nd straight session, with almost all sectors moving into the green, led by utilities. Sentiment was upbeat, with the NZX 50 on track for a weekly gain of around 1.6%, as concerns over the trade war eased after Washington signaled possible trade deals with India, Japan, and South Korea, and expressed optimism about an agreement with China. The index also tracked overnight gains on Wall Street, driven by strong earnings from major tech companies. However, traders are awaiting New Zealand’s unemployment data for Q1 2025, due next week, after the prior quarter recorded the highest jobless rate since Q3 2020. On the data front, New Zealand building permits rose 9.6% mom in March 2025, marking the strongest growth in eight months. Among early gainers were Mainfreight (6.6%), Auckland International Airport (1.7%), and ANZ Group (0.9%).
