Fundamentally, its been about the greenback this week and a number of data releases have been supporting risk apatite for US denominated assets propelling the US dollar forward across the G10’s, but the antipodeans have been faring the best vs the strength of the greenback. We are short again in data for NZ next week, but we will look to Chinese manufacturing, the G20 and indeed the Aussie block buster releases that include GDP and the RBA.
