KIWI
KIWI: NZD/USD sank to fresh intraday lows over yesterday's WMR fix, with a
firmer than exp. post-holiday PBoC fix stabilising the rate earlier in the day.
The cross was pressured by safe haven demand, which has carried over into early
Asia-Pac trade. Yesterday's lows have already given way as U.S. equity index
futures turned red. NZD/USD sits -11 pips at $0.5997 as we type.
- A break below the nearby Apr 28 low of $0.5992 would expose $0.5911, the low
of Apr 23. Bulls see Apr 30 high of $0.6176 as their initial target and need a
rally above there to pick up some momentum.
- We are awaiting some comments from N gov't officials. FinMin robertson will
start his pre-budget address at the top of the hour. An hour later, PM Ardern
will deliver her daily presser, during which she is expected to unveil
coronavirus alert 2 rules (the country is now at level 3).
- New Zealand's Q2 inflation expectations headline the local docket today. Worth
watching China's trade balance & Caixin Services/Composite PMIs as well.
