New Zealand stocks climbed 27 points, or 0.2%, to close at 13,819 on Wednesday, halting losses from the previous two sessions, buoyed by gains in financials, utilities, and communication services. Tuesday’s report from Moody’s ratings agency continued to support sentiment, saying New Zealand’s economic recovery is underway, though warning that several issues remain unresolved. However, a downbeat session on Wall Street overnight limited the gains, as rising oil prices amid the escalating conflict in the Middle East raised concerns over inflation and boosted bets that central banks would raise interest rates. Fresh data from China, New Zealand’s top trading partner, also capped the index, as consumer and producer price pressures continued to rise amid higher oil prices. Among the top movers were Sanford (1.6%), Mercury NZ (1.4%), Contact Energy (1.2%), Mainfreight (0.9%), Infratil (0.8%), ANZ Group (0.7%), Delegat Group (0.7%), and A2 Milk (0.5%).
