# New Zealand Stocks Start the Week Lower

The NZX 50 dropped 76 points, or 0.6%, to 13,346 in morning trading on Monday, halting gains from the previous session, tracking a decline on Wall Street on Friday amid higher Treasury yields and a firmer dollar, after President Trump nominated Kevin Warsh to succeed Fed Chair Powell.

The latest economic data from China also pressured sentiment, following PMI data showing that the private sector in New Zealand’s top trading partner contracted, with the services sector shrinking while factory activity grew less than expected.

Traders also anticipated the release of the domestic unemployment rate for Q4 later this week, after it rose to the highest level since Q4 2016 in Q3, as well as the release of US jobs data.

Almost all sectors traded in the red, including materials, healthcare, financials, and industrials.

Among the biggest laggards were Westpac Banking Corp. (-1.9%), Delegat Group (-1.8%), Fisher & Paykel (-1.0%), A2 Milk (-0.7%), and FC Investment (-0.5%).
