NZD/USD Price Analysis: Tumbles to three-day losses, below the 50-DMA

NZD/USD hits a new three-day nadir at 0.5906, shedding 0.39% amid a broader downtrend and declining US Treasury yields.
The pair faces immediate support at the psychological 0.5900 level, with further downside risks towards the September low and critical trendline supports.
A recovery above the 50-day moving average could open the path for the Kiwi to challenge resistances at 0.5900 and potentially the 0.6000 handle.

NZD/USD dives to a three-day low of 0.5906 below the 50-day moving average (DMA) at 0.5913, despite the Greenback (USD) trading unchanged as shown by the US Dollar Index (DXY), while US Treasury bond yields drop for the second consecutive day. The pair exchanges hands at 0.5910, down 0.39%.

The downtrend portrayed in the NZD/USD daily chart suggests the pair would continue to print losses unless the fundamentals change. Next, support is at 0.5900 in the figure, followed by the September 5 low at 0.5859, followed by an upslope support trendline at 0.5815/25, before slumping to the 0.5800 mark. A breach of the latter would expose the year-to-date (YTD) low of 0.5773.

On the other hand, if NZD/USD buyers reclaim the 50-DMA, they could remain hopeful of testing higher prices. Next resistance is seen at 0.5900, before rallying to the 0.6000 mark.

GBP/USD surrenders some gains, back to 1.3420

GBP/USD holds on to moderate gains above 1.3400 the figure on Friday. Optimism surrounding the UK government’s leadership transition and expectations of further BoE tightening support the British Pound, while easing tensions in the Middle East and fading Fed rate-hike expectations weigh on the US Dollar.

EUR/USD turns positive, targets 1.1450

EUR/USD now picks up pace and advances toward the 1.1440 region on Friday, up modestly for the day. With no major economic data due, lingering uncertainty over the US-Iran conflict keeps investors cautious, limiting the pair's upside.

Gold remains offered, still below $4,100

Gold struggles to extend Thursday’s rebound and navigates below the $4,100 mark per troy ounce on Friday. Uncertainty surrounding the Middle East conflict limits the precious metal’s upside, which is also under pressure amid rising US Treasury yields across the curve.

Week ahead – US CPI and Warsh testimony to take centre stage, BoC eyed too

US inflation report and Warsh testimony to headline the week. Dollar to dominate amid slew of other US data and Mideast tensions. Amid fresh Iran escalation, China GDP to shed light on Q2 impact. Bank of Canada not expected to follow RBNZ with rate hike.

Five sessions, one round trip: Why the whipsaw is exactly what Warsh ordered

Markets opened July with a December hike as the base case and spent five trading sessions unlearning and relearning it. A 57K payrolls print bled the tightening bets out of the strip; a re-shut Strait of Hormuz is pushing them back in. Wednesday's minutes from the June Federal Open Market Committee meeting landed mid-round-trip, describing a world that had already stopped existing.
