Elsewhere in Asia, Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.2% and Japan’s Nikkei 225 was up 0.3%. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index futures lost 0.21%.

“If the lockdowns are removed after three days, the damage to New Zealand’s economy should be small,” Joseph Capurso of Commonwealth Bank of Australia wrote in a note Wednesday.
