Analysis and Recommendation: The NZD/USD gained 45 points on the back of a declining US dollar as well as the RBA move and the climb of the Aussie. Many
The NZD/USD gained 45 points on the back of a declining US dollar as well as the RBA move and the climb of the Aussie. Many traders are seeing a positive side to Chinese manufacturing and non-manufacturing data released today. New Zealand is a large exporter to China, but its goods are primarily not used in manufacturing such as dairy products. The NZD is trading at 0.6629.
Investors are favoring currencies with higher interest rates, such as the New Zealand dollar, where the benchmark is at 2.75 percent, and the Australian dollar where rates are 2 percent. That compares with Europe, where the European Central Bank is expected to take interest rates even further into negative territory when it meets this week, and Japan with a benchmark near zero, where Bank of Japan governor Haruhiko Kuroda said yesterday the central bank won’t hesitate to ease monetary policy further to achieve its inflation goal quickly.
Today, third-quarter terms of trade data is published and the latest monthly house values for November are released by Quotable Value. Tonight, all eyes will be on the GlobalDairyTrade auction where NZX milk futures are signaling an increase.
