Consolidating Gains Above 200-Day EMA
AUDNZD
AUD/NZD is dealing just off its highest level since mid November, the cross rallied on Wednesday in the wake of diverging CPI prints.
- The pair broke above its 50 and 200-day EMAs and has largely held gains through the remainder of the week.
- Bulls look to target $1.10, opening up $1.1101, the 61.8% retracement of the Sep-Dec fall.
- Bears firstly look to close below the 200-day EMA at $1.0908 to turn the tide.
- The AU-NZ 2-Year Govt Bond spread is comfortably off mid-December lows (near -170bp), last around -129bp, but the rate of improvement (in AUD's favor) has picked up pace in recent dealing.
- In the swap space, the AU-NZ 2yr spread is now back to -117bps, versus 140bps closing levels form last week, so nearly a full 25bps of improvement through this week.
