NZD/USD Analysis

I wrote yesterday that until the RBA’s meeting minutes were published, I doubted there were going to be any good opportunities coming here. I was right, that event, plus the weaker than expected New Zealand inflation, has pushed up the NZD against a slightly weakening USD, and has produced a more bullish picture. However, the market is now flattening out ahead of the Chair of the Federal Reserve’s upcoming testimony, which is likely to produce the major move of the day later. I am bullish above 0.6857.

There is nothing important due today concerning the NZD. Regarding the USD, the Chair of the Federal Reserve will be testifying on the Semi-annual Monetary Policy Report before Congress at 3pm London time.
