Overview:
NZD/USD is expected to trade in a lower range. The NZD sentiment is dented by 1.0% on-quarter drop in New Zealand 2Q producer input prices and 0.5% drop in producer output prices. NZD/USD is also undermined by the positive dollar sentiment;=, soft commodity & dairy prices, reduced expectations of further rate hikes from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand this year as well as the official stance against strong Kiwi exchange rate. But NZD/USD downside is limited by the Kiwi demand on buoyant NZD/JPY cross amid reduced risk aversion and NZD-USD interest differential. The daily chart is still positive-biased as MACD and stochastics is in a bullish mode.
