The New Zealand dollar broke higher during the day on Wednesday, but found a bit of resistance near the 0.7250 handle. This was previous support, so that makes sense. If the FOMC looks to reaffirm tightening or at least a slowdown of the balance sheet at the Federal Reserve, this pair should go lower. We are in a downtrend anyway, so I don’t think it’s going to take much to push us back down. The alternate scenario of course is a break above the 0.73 handle, which would be very bullish and have this market looking for higher levels. Either way, I expect to see an overall negative bias.
