NZD/USD bulls attack 0.6400 on upbeat options market signals
|NZD/USD picks up bids to print mild gains around 0.6395 during the mid-Asian session on Tuesday. In doing so, the Kiwi pair consolidates the most significant daily loss in a week as traders await the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for November.
That said, firmer prints of the options market barometer, namely the Risk Reversals (RR), underpin the NZD/USD pair’s latest run-up. It should be noted that the RR, the key options market gauge calculated by marking the difference between the call and put options.
The one-month RR of the NZD/USD pair, the key options market gauge, braces for the fourth consecutive weekly gain while printing the 0.020 figure at the latest; the same is the daily RR for Monday.
