Outlook for NZD remains mixed
24-HOUR VIEW: "In the early Asian session yesterday, we noted that 'there has been a tentative buildup in upward momentum.' We expected NZD to 'edge higher and test 0.5920.' We highlighted that 'the major resistance at 0.5985 is unlikely to come into view.' We were not wrong, even though NZD rose more than expected to 0.5932. Despite the advance, there has been no significant increase in upward momentum. Today, we expect range trading, albeit likely in a higher range of 0.5900/0.5950."
