NZD/USD: consolidated within a bearish bias awaiting US GDP

  • NZD/USD is currently trading at 0.6521 and within a range of between 0.6508/44.

NZD/USD has levelled out into a sideways chop and risk sentiment improved overnight stalling the downside trajectory although remains on fragile grounds as the greenback maintains its bullish bias.  

“This cross slipped a touch overnight, with the USD generally stronger. Domestically, markets await the November MPS for more direction, with global developments likely to dictate moves in the interim. We retain a downwards bias for the direction of this cross,” analysts at ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited explained.  

US GDP coming up

The pair will next contend with the US GDP data, and the consensus is 3.3% q-o-q annualised. Analysts at Rabobank explained that anything hotter or colder would see some serious market gyrations. Particularly if hotter, as that will fuel the Fed’s concerns.
