FXStreet (Córdoba) – NZD/USD gained momentum during the last hours amid a weak US dollar across the board and printed a fresh daily high at 0.7009 but failed to hold above 0.7000 and currently trades at 0.6993, up 0.15% for the day.
The kiwi is rising for the first time after falling more than two hundred pips during the previous two trading days after the rate cut by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.
Greenback today weakened in the market after the release of US economic data that showed an unexpected contraction in industrial production in May (-0.2% vs +0.3%). The positive report came from the real estate sector with the NAHB Housing Market Index rising from 54 to 59 in June.
