“In addition, we have the RBNZ MPS this Thursday, which could pour some cold water over the kiwi. Economic data since the previous MPS argues for a lower OCR track, and the elevated NZD could see the RBNZ ramp up its currency warning. The immediate (technically derived) downside target is 0.7350, with a break below possible if the RBNZ is dovish enough.”
“Three months ahead: Our medium term outlook for NZD/USD is largely dependent on the outlook for the US dollar. A persistent rebound in the US dollar by year end is needed to pull NZD/ USD back to the 0.69 area. On that score, last week’s jobs data-inspired USD bounce is encouraging.”
