The NZX 50 fell 56 points, or 0.4%, to close at 13,115 on Wednesday, reversing morning gains and extending losses from the previous session, mainly weighed down by materials, industrials, and consumer staples stocks. Traders remained cautious amid uncertainty surrounding the US-Iran peace talks. Disappointing economic data also pressured sentiment, with New Zealand’s merchandise terms of trade declining more than expected in the first quarter of 2026, indicating reduced purchasing power for New Zealand exporters and importers despite rising export and import volumes. However, losses were capped by stronger building consents data, as new dwelling consents rebounded 10.9% in April. Among the biggest laggards were Mainfreight (-3.5%), Ebos Group (-2.5%), and Ventia Services Group (-1.7%), while Sky Network Television and Turners Automotive each fell 1.6%.
