Australia shares rise, RBA holds steady; NZ closes at all-time high Nov 5th 2013, 05:23 Tue Nov 5, 2013 12:23am EST SYDNEY Nov 5 (Reuters) - Australian shares rose 0.8 percent on Tuesday, as miners gained on rising iron ore prices while investors looked past a widely expected decision by the Reserve Bank of Australia to keep rates steady for a third consecutive month. Australia's central bank held rates at a record low of 2.5 percent on Tuesday, saying past cuts were supporting demand, but cautioned that a full recovery might not be possible without a weaker currency. The S&P/ASX 200 index rose 41.5 points to finish at 5,432. Activity was thin due to the Melbourne cup horse races in Victoria, with a total 403 million shares trading hands during the session, compared to a year-to-date daily moving average of some 687 million shares. New Zealand's benchmark NZX 50 index rose 0.6 percent to finish the session at an all-time closing high of 4,938.7 points. (Reporting by Thuy Ong; Editing by Shri Navaratnam)
