|- NZD/USD is rising for the fourth straight day on Thursday.
- US Dollar Index stays flat on the day near 93.80.
- Personal Income and Manufacturing PMI will be released from the US.
The NZD/USD pair capitalized on the broad-based USD weakness and closed the third straight day in the positive territory on Wednesday. Although the pair pushed higher to touch its best level in a week at 0.6647 on Thursday, it lost its traction ahead of the American session. As of writing, NZD/USD was up 0.4% on the day at 0.6635.
DXY struggles to stage a recovery ahead of US data
Decisive gains witnessed in Wall Street's main indexes toward the end of September caused the greenback to lose interest as a safe-haven since the start of the week. With the S&P 500 futures gaining 0.85% on Thursday, the USD remains on the back foot and the US Dollar Index (DXY) was last seen flat on the day at 93.79.
In the early American session, the US Bureau of Economic Analysis will release the Personal Spending, Personal Income and Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index data. Later in the day, the IHS Markit and the ISM will both publish the September Manufacturing PMI reports.
During the Asian trading hours on Thursday, the data published by the ANZ showed that Business Confidence continued to weaken in New Zealand in September but the Activity Outlook improved modestly from -9.9% to -5.4% in the same period.
On Friday, the ANZ - Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence Index from New Zealand will be looked upon for fresh catalysts.
