NZX today announced the NZX Group Operational Report for August 2010.
The total value traded on NZX Securities Markets in August 2010 was $1.76 billion. This was up 21% on July 2010, largely due to a 23% increase in total value traded on the Main Board. The total number of trades decreased by 23%, compared to August 2009, and 3% compared to July 2010 as we continue to see muted demand for equities.
The total number of NZX Listed Issuers increased to 223 after DNZ Property Group made its debut on the NZX Main Board on August 16 with a market capitalisation of over $238 million, after a $45 million capital raising. Dorchester Pacific became a new Listed Issuer on the NZX Debt Market when it issued approximately $20 million of secured notes.
The number of real time data terminals increased by 104 in August as we continue to see a recovery in the demand for real time market data from offshore. NZX also executed two new data licence agreements and has several other agreements in the pipeline.
