FXStreet (Guatemala) – NZD/USD is currently trading on the bid with spot at 0.6869 currently with a high of 0.6895 and a low 0.6838.
NZD/USD has found demand in early Asia with the release of the nation’s CPI’s. CPI for Q/Q came in at 0.3% vs 0.2% expected, but below prior of 0.4% and year on year also came with an upside surprise of 0.4% vs 0.3% expected, matching prior.
NZD/USD had been relatively robust in the US session, only losing some ground on the back of the US CPI’s (1.9% vs 1.8% exp 1.8% and prev), but gaining traction again with the markets continuing to out price a Fed hike this year with a stream of unsure Fed officials, only certain about the fact that the economy is not quite ready.
