New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index rose 0.8% to close at 12,881 on Thursday, marking its highest level in nearly three months, driven by gains in the health technology sector.

Other large-cap stocks also ended higher, including Auckland Intl Airport (1.3%), Mercury NZ (1.5%), Contact Energy (0.9%), and A2 Milk (1.3%). Investor sentiment was further buoyed by a temporary halt in the trade war between the US and China, which eased worries of a global recession.
