NZD
  • AUD/NZD traded lower on Monday down 0.08% at 1.0987, after initially trading above 1.100 for an intraday higher of 1.1013.

  • Upcoming expiries: 1.1100 ($692.61m) Apr 29 NY Cut, upcoming notable strikes include 1.095 ($292.24) Apr 30
  • Looking ahead: NZ Business Confidence at 11.100am, AU Retail Sales & Private Sector Credit at 11.30am AEST
