The New Zealand sharemarket was flat in early trading after leading companies were weaker yesterday following a dovish outlook for the economy from the Reserve Bank.
Around 10.20am the benchmark NZX-50 index was up 0.65 points to 3281.2, having yesterday closed down 13.8 points.
Telecom (NZX: TEL ) slipped 1c early to 208 after dropping 6c yesterday, while Fletcher Building (NZX: FBU ) which also lost 6c yesterday, was unchanged at 782. Contact Energy (NZX: CEN ) did regain in early trading the 4c it lost yesterday, but only on low volume.
