InvestNow News – 4th September – ANZ Investments – The Weekly Snapshot – 31 August 2020
Article written by ANZ – 31st August 2020
International equity markets continued their surge higher last week. The benchmark U.S. S&P 500 index climbed 3.3% for the week and reached an all-time high. The weekly gain meant that the U.S. market has risen eight out of the last nine weeks. Markets in Europe were broadly higher as well.
Closer to home, the NZX 50 was also higher by 2.2% for the week although trading volumes were impacted by a series of cyber attacks which forced multiple trading halts through the week. The NZX continues to work with its network service provider Spark and national cyber security partners in order to ensure normal market operations.
