KIWI: NZD/USD last trades flat at $0.6733, after dropping 7 pips Monday. 
- The pair faded as USD strength came to the fore on Monday after kiwi
outperformed in the Asia-Pac session, initially drawing support from an Axios
story suggesting that U.S. President Trump's advisers discussed holding a summit
with Chinese President Xi in March. 
- Focus continues to fall on the rhetoric surrounding the ongoing Sino-U.S.
trade talks (ministerial level talks are scheduled for Thursday & Friday), but
the main point of interest will be the RBNZ's MonPol decision, due Wednesday,
and the accompanying press conference with RBNZ Gov Orr. NZ 2-Year inflation
projection, due on the same day, will also attract attention. 
- Bears keep an eye on the 100-DMA at $0.6726 and a breach of that level would
shift their focus to the Jan 22 low of $0.6707. Conversely, bulls target the
200-DMA at $0.6755 and the next layer of resistance above is located at $0.6773,
where the rate peaked yesterday.
