Analysts at BNZ warn of the risks for AUD, forecasting a drop in AUD/NZD:
- Traders will be wary of taking the cross higher against a backdrop of the COVID19 outbreak in Victoria, as it risks spreading to NSW.
- The daily increase in new cases for Australia blasted through 500.
- The state of Victoria continues to show a disturbing outbreak, making up the bulk of new cases. News that 90% of those with symptoms were not self-isolating suggests that the trend is likely to rise further.
- NSW is showing an uptick in case numbers, with links to the outbreak in Victoria.
- The risk of state governments imposing more economically-restraining restrictions remains very real.
