After getting out to a rough start in the morning, North American equity markets gained back some of their mojo in the afternoon session as red figures turned green just before lunch and stayed there until the closing bell.

Considering the fact that China is a large importer of Kiwi milk products, a slowdown in growth could severely impact New Zealand’s economy as well as give the
