Analysis and Recommendation:

The NZD/USD is at 0.8243 in late Asian trading after the Bank of Japan this morning surprised traders and held rates and policy. Traders were expecting more monetary stimulus, which would have helped the entire region. China continues to be closed for the weeklong holiday.

Investors were buoyed by European Central Bank president Mario Draghi affirming the bank’s support for the euro at Thursday’s monetary policy review and the minutes to the last Federal Open Market Committee meeting which showed the Fed won’t let its asset-buying program won’t be allowed to disrupt markets.

Traders are preparing for US non-farm payrolls, which are expected to show the world’s biggest economy added more than 100,000 jobs last month, with employment the major focus for the Federal Reserve in assessing the recovery.
