Fundamental overview:
NZD/USD is expected to consolidate in a lower range as markets await the US FOMC interest rate decision. The NZD sentiment is dented by a decrease of 8.8% in Fonterra's GDT Price Index and a drop of 9.6% in average price for whole milk powder to $2,928/MT at the latest Global Dairy Trade auction. NZD/USD is also weighed by kiwi sales on the buoyant AUD/NZD cross and subdued investor risk appetite. The NZD/USD losses are tempered by the NZD-USD yield differential.
