NZDUSD: 0.7190
Preferred Strategy: The Kiwi is still chopping around near 0.7200 and now has a triple bottom at 0.7165. A neutral stance is currently required although I do prefer to sell into strength, looking for an eventual break lower, initially targeting the 200 DMA.NB. The NZ Business Confidence has just been released – falling hard from 18 to 5 – an 18 month low. This won’t do the Kiwi any good and the increasing preference is to sell into strength. Note that the latest GDT figure will be released in London.
