The New Zealand Dollar was pressured on Friday by higher-than-expected U.S. producer prices. The news drove up U.S. Treasury yields, which made the U.S. Dollar a more attractive investment. Kiwi traders also had mixed feelings about the strength of the economy. Earlier in the week, the Preliminary ANZ Business Confidence report came in at -8.4, worse than previously revised number at -4.1.

On Friday, the NZD/USD settled at .7035, down 0.0026 or -0.37%.
