NZD/USD: stuck at familiar resistance before FOMC
|- NZD/USD consolidates ahead of next leg up?
- NZD/USD probably depends on the FOMC from here.
The Kiwi was mostly holding gains from the 10th Dec rally to 0.6952 recent highs in the NY session and is at a standstill in the early Asian shift. Currently, NZD/USD is trading at 0.6933, down -0.08% on the day, having posted a daily high at 0.6941 and low at 0.6932.
FOMC meeting preview: big noise, little substance?
Awaiting FOMC
NZD/USD is likely to continue consolidating without further domestic events and before the FOMC announcements tonight. "But it is fair to say the kiwi has held in well (despite some signs that the domestic economy is wobbling a little right now) and looks to be threatening a further modest squeeze higher, which is not unusual for this time of year," explained analysts at ANZ.
