NZD/USD: Likely to decline further – UOB Group

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

The New Zealand Dollar (NZD) is likely to trade in a range between 0.6035 and 0.6090. In the longer run, NZD is likely to decline further; the level to watch is 0.6005, UOB Group’s FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note.

Level to watch is 0.6005

24-HOUR VIEW: “NZD dropped sharply in early Asian trading yesterday. We indicated that “given the sharp increase in momentum, it is likely to decline further.” We also indicated that “the major support at 0.6005 is likely out of reach (there is another support at 0.6030).” Our view did not materialise as after dropping to 0.6041, it traded sideways for the rest of the sessions. Downward momentum has slowed, and NZD is unlikely to weaken much further. Today, it is more likely to trade in a range, probably between 0.6035 and 0.6090.”

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “We continue to hold the same view as yesterday (16 Oct, spot at 0.6060). As highlighted, NZD is likely to decline further, and the level to watch is 0.6005. Overall, only a breach of 0.6115 (no change in ‘strong resistance’ level) would mean that the weakness in NZD that started early this month has stabilised.”

Is Gold about to enter its biggest bull run since 2020?

Gold has stormed back into the spotlight and its next move could leave late buyers chasing. On August 5, the yellow metal surged almost 7% – roughly $174 – to close near $4,308 an ounce, posting one of its biggest daily advances in recent history. A weaker U.S dollar, falling Treasury yields, changing Federal Reserve expectations and renewed safe-haven demand all struck at once.

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
