NZD/USD might not be able to reach 0.5940 – UOB Group

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

New Zealand Dollar (NZD) could decline further against US Dollar (USD), but it might not be able to reach 0.5940. In the longer run, upward momentum has faded; tentative increase in downward momentum may lead to NZD declining to 0.5940, UOB Group’s FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note.

Upward momentum has faded

24-HOUR VIEW: "We did not expect NZD to drop to a low of 0.5967 (we were expecting range trading). While deeply oversold, the weakness has not stabilised. Today, NZD could decline further, but oversold conditions suggest it might not be able to reach 0.5940. On the upside, resistance levels are at 0.5985 and 0.6005."

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: "After holding a positive NZD view since the middle of last week, we pointed out yesterday (28 Jul, spot at 0.6020) that 'upward momentum is beginning to slow, and the odds of NZD rising to 0.6080 are diminishing.' While our shift in tone was timely, we did not expect the sharp drop to 0.5967. The breach of our ‘strong support’ level at 0.5985 indicates that upward momentum has faded. There has been a tentative increase in downward momentum, and this may lead to NZD declining to 0.5940. Currently, it is too early to determine if NZD can reach 0.5905. The downward bias is intact as long as NZD holds below the ‘strong resistance’ level, now at 0.6030."

Markets question Fed's inflation resolve after July FOMC meeting

Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh continues to project a tough stance on inflation, repeatedly promising to restore price stability and keep inflation anchored at the central bank's longstanding 2% target. But according to Mike Maharrey in this week's Money Metals Midweek Memo, markets are beginning to judge the Fed by its actions rather than its rhetoric—and so far, they aren't convinced.

9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?

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.
