The two-day winning streak came to an abrupt end today. The market plunged with the NZSE50 down -2.04% to end at 3,113.
Top stock Telecom dropped 4.0%, the second-ranked Contact Energy fell 1.4% and Fletcher Building, the third best stock, plummeted 4.5%.
Falls outweighed rises by 75 to 28, with the biggest loser being Geneva Finance down 16%, while the stars of the day were Savoy Equities, up 171.43%, Diligent up 38.89% and Burger Fuel up 15%.
In the retail sector Hallenstein Glasson and Pumpkin Patch dropped 3.4% each,
Michael Hill slumped 7.1% and The Warehouse Group fell 1.7%.
Australian stocks were also hit hard with resources and the banks leading the
decline across the tasman. The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index lost 74.5 points,
or 1.49%, to 4937.4, while the broader All Ordinaries was down 68.9 points,
or 1.35%, to 5020.5.
Wall Street tumbled Wednesday with the major indexes falling more than two per cent. The Dow fell 236.77, or 2.08%, to 11,147.44. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 29.01, or 2.28%, to 1,244.69, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 59.55, or 2.60%, to 2,234.89.
The pullback left both the Dow and S&P 500 back in bear market territory,
with both indexes having declined more than 20% since their October highs.
