NZD/USD Fundamental Analysis October 19, 2012 Forecast
The NZD/USD dipped a bit but is trading fairly flat this morning. The pair is trading at 0.8209 The New Zealand dollar rose after Moody’s Investors Service affirmed Spain’s investment grade credit rating, stoking risk appetite as traders position themselves ahead of a European Union summit.
The US dollar fell against most of its trading peers as Spain kept its Baa3 debt rating, quashing speculation the indebted nation was going to be cut to junk. It comes as Spanish officials say the nation will decided on whether to seek help from the European Central Bank’s bond buying fund within weeks.
The kiwi had little reaction this morning to Chinese data, which showed retail sales well above expectations and GDP met forecast but showed a continued slowdown in China, falling from 7.6% to 7.4%.
