Australia: Shares slip on FederalReserve comments, weak earnings; NewZealand rises

NAB posted a 7 per cent rise in first-half cash profit but cut its dividend for the first time since 2009 to 83 cents from the 99 cents.Australia's biggest supermarket chain, Woolworths Group , reported a 4.2 per cent rise in third-quarter sales sending its shares to a more than four-year high.
