KIWI: NZD remains bottom of the G10 pile at the European crossover following the
RBNZ's decision to cut its OCR by 25bps to a new record low of 1.50%. The RBNZ
noted that a cut was "necessary to support the outlook for employment and
inflation" consistent with its policy objectives. The Bank also cited trade
concerns and slowing global growth. NZDUSD slipped 80 pips to react lows of
$0.6527 but continues to close the gap, last $0.6591.
- Bulls need to recover the $0.66 handle before challenging the May 7 high &
channel top at $0.6630/36. Above here opens the 50% fibo of $0.6783-0.6527 at
$0.6655, ahead of the 21-dma at $0.6673.
- AUDNZD touched react highs of NZ$1.0725, but has since retraced to NZ$1.0660
and rests on the 100-dma. Further support is located behind at NZ$1.0622/18 from
the 50% fibo of NZ$1.0518-1.0725 & Intraday low.
