NZX published today the Operational Report July 2010.
Total number of trades on NZX Securities Markets in July was 44,021, an increase of 5% from the previous month. Total number of trades on NZSX (Main Board) increased by 9% compared to June as investors continued to trade but in smaller sized transactions given global macroeconomic uncertainty. Total value traded declined 15% to $1.45bn compared with June 2010 which is in line with liquidity declines experienced by major global markets such as Hong Kong and New York.
Total capital raised in July increased 102% to $179 million compared to the $36 million raised in June 2010. Kiwi Income Properties raised $142 million of equity capital and Fisher & Paykel Healthcare raised $15 million of follow on equity capital.
