Key quotes
“Technically, NZD/USD has been capped at 0.72 but needs to take out its 0.7130 support (50-DMA) before it can test 0.71 or January’s lows again.”
“Ironically, the NZD’s rally stalled after expectations increased for inflation to rise towards the official 2% target by mid-year. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand may, at its meeting on 24 February, rule out more rate cuts.”
