KIWI: NZD/USD last trades flat at $0.6741. The rate knee-jerked to a reaction
high of $0.6750 as risk appetite revived after British parliament passed the
"Cooper-Letwin" Bill, which forces the gov't to avoid a no-deal Brexit. The bill
now requires only the royal assent to become law, effectively a rubber stamp
expected today/tomorrow. However, the initial spike has been retraced on the
back of soft ANZ Truckometer Heavy print. Worth noting price action has been
contained within a ~10 pip range.
- This comes after the rate added 11 pips Monday, mostly thanks to the
greenback's broad-based retreat.
- Bulls initially look to $0.6754 & $0.6766, where the rate peaked on Monday and
last Friday respectively. Above here would expose the psychological $0.6800
level, which provided a layer of technical resistance last Wednesday and
Thursday. Meanwhile, bears look for a return below the 200-DMA at $0.6734 before
attempting a move at the Feb 12 monthly low/Friday's monthly low of $0.6720/19.
- NZ focus this week turns to domestic BusinessNZ m'fing PMI due Friday and any
fresh developments in Sino-U.S. trade matters.
