NZD pulls lower on concerns about a new coronavirus wave
The kiwi has been unable to extend its recovery beyond 0.6500 after two attempts today and pulled back today lows at 0.6515 as market sentiment soured. News reports of increases of coronavirus cases in diverse US states and FED Powell warnings about the economic consequences of a second wave of infections offset the previous enthusiasm about the bright US macroeconomic data and boosted the USD across the board.
Dollar strength, however, lost momentum later during the session as sentiment improved and equity markets resumed their bullish trend. With the USD giving away gains, the kiwi has managed to reach 0.6455.
