Broader Risk Appetite Back In The Drivers Seat

AUDNZD

AUD/NZD is pushing back above 1.1340, around +0.25% since the open. Overnight the pair couldn't breach the 1.1350 level.

  • Whilst relative yield differentials/relative data momentum continues to point to downside risks for the cross, with the RBA/RBNZ meetings out of the way the focus may be shifting back to broader risk appetite.
  • The chart below updates one from earlier in the week, AUD/NZD against global equities (which is inverted on the chart). NZD continues to display a stronger beta, compared to AUD, to global equity sentiment.
  • We are close to the mid-point of the range for the past week though, roughly 1.1240/1.1440. So, these factors may be broadly offsetting each other at this stage.
