Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views (NZD/USD) (USD/JPY)
14 Mar 2016 01:22GMT
NZD/USD - 0.6738.. Kiwi briefly fell to 0.6717/18 earlier today after statements by New Zealand cenbank. New Zealand's central bank reported on Monday that the inflation expectations are a key issue for monetary policy.
RBNZ Assistant Governor John McDermott noted Monday that the inflation expectations have fallen significantly recently across a range of measures, and this is a concern for the Bank, and this will contribute to the need for low interest rate settings.
Late last week the central bank surprised markets with a 25 basis point rate cut to 2.25 percent and signaled more to come.
McDermott said there has been a "material decline" in inflation expectations and they risk becoming embedded in future wage and price decisions. He said that if the recent material decline in a broad range of inflation expectations measures continues, the Bank would need to reconsider the outlook for interest rates.
Elsewhere in Japan Reuters reported this morning that Japan's core machinery orders rose a more-than-expected 15.0 percent in January from the previous month, Cabinet Office data showed on Monday, in a sign that rising business investment could support economic growth.
This rise in core orders, a highly volatile data series regarded as an indicator of capital spending in the coming six to nine months, was much stronger than economists' median estimate for a 3.0 percent increase.
And compared with a year earlier, core orders, which exclude those of ships and electricity, rose 8.4 percent in January, versus a 3.6 percent decline seen by analysts.
