NZD/USD 1 day: The US dollar's rebound overnight has slowed the NZD's rise, but with momentum still positive we'd expect another attempt above 0.7200 during the next few days.
NZD/USD is consolidating the correction from highs 0.7221 after dropping back below the 0.72 handle as markets stablised with renewed dollar strength on the back of the ECB's announcements and extensions of the QE programme. We are now light on data except for the Chinese CPI.
NZD/USD 1-3 month:
Analysts at Westpac explained that the US dollar has had an impressive rise since the US election and has potential to rise further during the months ahead, not least because the Fed will probably hike in December. Against that, the NZ economy is strong and dairy prices have risen. Overall we are left with a bearish outlook for NZD/USD, targeting sub-0.70.
