- The NZD/USD is reporting gains despite a 5 percent drop in the GDP price index.
- The positive divergence of the 4-hour RSI and upbeat China services PMI favors stronger corrective rally in NZD.
The NZD/USD pair is reporting gains in Asia even though the Global Dairy Trade (GDT) price index dropped 5 percent and could see a stronger corrective rally, courtesy of an upbeat China services PMI release.
Currently, the NZD/USD pair is trading at 0.6772, having clocked a session high and low of 0.6778 and 0.6744, respectively.
Global dairy prices fell at the biggest pace this year at a fortnightly auction held earlier today. The GDT price index fell 5 percent after slipping 1.2 percent at the previous sale.
However, the NZD remained bid and actually rose to a high of 0.6778 adding credence to the bullish divergence of the 4-hour relative strength index (RSI).
Further, a better-than-expected China Caixin services PMI released a few minutes ago, could add to the bullish tone around the NZD. The monthly gauge came in at 53.9, beating the estimated drop to 52.7 from 52.9 seen in May.
