FXStreet (Guatemala) – NZD/USD is currently recovering from the downside of the aftermath of the FOMC and is oscillating around the 20 DMA on the daily chart at 0.6365.
NZD/USD fell back from the sharp spike post the no-change decision from the Fed today when it reached highs of 0.6444. Risk-off was the theme leading into the press conference as equities declined sharply and the riskier assets were left alone and while confidence in the global economy has been knocked, the kiwi is highly vulnerable to the downside.
In the meantime, we will wait to see the reaction in Asia and EM’s throughout the course of next week while the Fed will continue monitor for an improvement in the labour market and until they get reasonable confident on meeting their 2% target, they are unlikely to hike amidst global uncertainties.
