KIWI: A sedate start to the session for NZD/USD (and the broader G10 FX space,
for that matter), as we await a monetary policy decision from the RBNZ and a
subsequent press conference with Governor Orr. The RBNZ chief will speak again
on Thursday, testifying to lawmakers. Our preview of the RBNZ MonPol decision
can be accessed at http://tiny.cc/RBNZMay2020
- PM Ardern's spokesman pushed back against earlier speculation that New Zealand
has discussed forming a "travel bubble" with eight other nations which are
successful in containing the coronavirus, noting that the talks were limited to
sharing experiences re: Covid-19.
- Worth highlighting that FinMin Robertson delivers the budget on Thursday.
- On the data front, New Zealand's BusinessNZ M'fing PMI comes out on Friday.
- NZD/USD sits -6 pips at $0.6072. A fall below the 50-DMA at $0.6022 would
clear the way to May 7 low of $0.5995. Below there would open up Apr 23 low of
$0.5911. Bulls need gains past May 11 peak at $0.6156 and Apr 30 high of $0.6176
to reinstate topside momentum.
