Australia shares up, aided by solid GDP data; NZ hits a record

60421-as
Australian shares rose on Wednesday, tracking Wall Street, while data at home showing the economy last quarter expanded at its fastest annual pace in four years helped buoy sentiment.

The S&P/ASX 200 index was 10.8 points, or 0.2 per cent, higher at 5,424.4 at 0307 GMT.

The benchmark gained as much as 0.5 per cent after the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported gross domestic product (GDP) in April-June rose 3.3 per cent from a year earlier, just short of market forecasts but up from around 2.9 per cent in the previous quarter.

On Tuesday, the benchmark lost 0.3 per cent after the country's central bank held interest rates at a record low as expected, but provided no clues for future easing.Click Here To Register For Free Trial Services OR Give A Missed Call : +6531581402 Follow Us On Twitter : www.twitter.com/epicresearchsg Like Us On Facebook : www.facebook.com/EpicResearchSingapore Need Any Assistance Feel Free To Mail Us at : info@epicresearch.sg
