KIWI: Morgan Stanley recommend going long NZD/USD at $0.6530, with a target of
$0.7000 and a stop at $0.6400.
- MS write "following the RBNZ's OCR cut, we see upside potential for the NZD.
The RBNZ's forecast indicated that it sees little chance of a cut until early
2020. Chinese PPI growth has started to tick up, which may pass through to the
tradeable component of inflation in New Zealand - which may keep the RBNZ from
cutting further. A market expecting cuts from the RBNZ may be disappointed in
coming weeks if central bank rhetoric turns. Dairy prices have rebounded, and we
expect the increase to pass through to a stronger NZD/USD. Weakness in the New
Zealand housing sector may take several weeks to materialize in the form of
weaker economic data, although an earlier and more pronounced downturn in
housing data is a risk to the trade."
