The NZX 50 fell 22 points, or 0.2%, to close at 13,206 on Thursday, reversing morning gains and erasing advances from the prior day after touching its highest level since May 7 a day earlier, amid inflation concerns fueled by rising oil prices due to the escalating conflict in the Middle East. Traders also assessed a statement from a top central banker that how high interest rates will go depends on how much weaker demand from higher energy costs would hold back other price increases, after the RBNZ kept interest rates unchanged on Wednesday. The governor of the RBNZ, Anna Breman, told Morning Report that the official cash rate is expected to rise to 3% or 3.25% in the future. The decline was capped by forecasts of a narrower 2025/26 budget gap. Most sectors traded in the red, including materials, consumer discretionary, consumer staples, and financials, with notable losses from ANZ Group (-2.5%), A2 Milk (-2.1%), Chorus (-1.7%), Ebos Group (-1.6%), and Westpac Banking Corp. (-1.1%).
