Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The New Zealand market saw the S&P/NZX 50 index rise 19.56 points, or 0.1%, to 13,830.68, with 20 stocks gaining and 24 declining. This movement occurred as Brent crude futures increased 2.1% to US$106.47 a barrel at 5 pm in Auckland. The market gains were driven by power companies, including Meridian Energy and Mercury NZ, amid the proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The rise in oil prices followed the rejection of an Iranian proposal regarding the Strait of Hormuz by US President Donald Trump.

The geopolitical tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz introduce significant market risk. The rejection of the Iranian proposal impacted global oil prices and market sentiment across Asia. Companies involved in the market, such as Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, also saw gains.
