NEW Zealand shares have gained for a second day to a two-month high, led by OceanaGold, which exceeded its gold production forecasts. The NZX50 advanced 28.668 points or about 0.6 per cent to 4950.339 on Wednesday. Within the index 26 stock rose, 15 fell and nine were unchanged. Turnover was $107.9 million. Melbourne-based mining group OceanaGold led the index higher, with the shares up 7.7 per cent to $2.11 after it said it beat its gold production forecasts for 2013. "When there is any announcement out of a gold company about production rates you do get a knee jerk reaction from the market," said Mark Warminger, portfolio manager at Milford Asset Management. That will settle down in the following days and months. Ultimately it depends on the price of gold. F&P Healthcare shares rose 3.9 per cent to $4.12, the highest the respiratory and sleep apnoea mask makers have been in nearly seven years.
