Fresh Leg Higher In Recent Trade, AUD/NZD Gives Back Some Of Jan Gains

NZD

NZD/USD has extended gains in recent trading. We got close to 0.6460, before post BoJ yen weakness curbed gains. We last sat at 0.6445, still +0.30% up today.

  • There haven't been any headline drivers however trans-tasman flow may be helping at the margins as AUD/NZD has broken back down through 200-day and 50-day EMAs this week supporting the NZD, see the chart below. The pair is also threatening to break back below uptrend channel support.
  • Yesterday's NZD/USD close above $0.64, which emerged as a key level recently, may be aiding technical flows.
  • Q4 CPI is coming into focus as well, the print is next Wednesday and looms as a key input into February's RBNZ meeting.
