NZX 50 Index

The NZX 50 Index is a stock market benchmark that measures the performance of the 50 largest and most liquid companies listed on New Zealand’s primary stock exchange, the NZX. It provides an overall snapshot of the country's economic health and investor confidence by tracking these leading companies' stock prices. When the NZX 50 rises, it indicates increasing value in New Zealand's main businesses; when it falls, it reflects a downturn. Investors, analysts, and policymakers use this index to assess market trends and make informed decisions.
