NZD
  • AUD/NZD has continued to trend higher, breaking the 1.0800 level earlier making highs of 1.0807, we now trade slightly off those levels back at 1.0802.
  • The AU-NZ 2yr swap continues to move higher even with a dovish RBA yesterday, the talk from NZ Gov officials around slow economic growth isn't helping the NZD. While the AU-NZ Commodity price ratio continues to make lows, see below Chart

  • Key technical levels to watch: a break above initial resistance of 1.0800 would open up a retest of 1.0833 (YTD/Jan 23 high). While to the downside, initial support is 1.0773 (200-day EMA) a break below 1.0738 (100-day EMA) could signal further weakness, opening up 1.0700 (Mar 11 lows)
  • Looking ahead: There is no further data for NZ or AU today, focus will turn to NZ GDP and AU Employment Tomorrow
