Market Metrics for November 2005

Key Facts

  • Average daily trades was 2,412 for November, a 10% decrease from November 2004 when the PowerCo takeover bid drove strong trading volumes.
  • Total value traded reached $2.9b with an average daily value traded of $131m. This is an increase of 12% on November 2004.
  • There was a continued increase in orders placed to market with an average daily amount of 15,924. This is an increase of 329% on November 2004.
  • Existing Issuers raised an additional $212m in November.

Average daily trades was 2,412 for November, a 10% decrease from November 2004. This was due to the PowerCo takeover bid fuelling very strong trading numbers in November last year. However, despite a decrease in average daily trades there was average daily value traded of $131m in November, an increase of 12% on November 2004. This is a continuation of strong average daily value traded in 2005.

Existing Issuers issued an additional $212 million in November ($151 million in debt and $61 million in equity). Of the $151m in debt issued $150m came from the issuance of AIA060 and AIA070, an addition to Auckland International Airport 's existing 5 debt securities.

For the year to date, the total capital raised on NZX's markets across debt and equity totals $3.5 billion. This is an increase on the $2.7 billion raised by the same time last year.

A continued increase in orders to market is shown again this month with a total of 350,320 orders placed in November. This equates to an average of 15,924 orders placed to market per day and is a 329% increase on November 2004. This reflects a continued increase in Direct Market Access (DMA) activity and the growing use of automated or programmed trading strategies by NZX Participants and their clients.
