There was no reaction in the publication of NAB indices. The business conditions indicator increased to 15 out of 14 (after correction), and the confidence index increased to 6 out of 5. Crude oil WTI grows 0.5%. up to 74.6 USD / b supported by information about a fire in the largest refinery in Canada - Saint John. The refinery processes 300,000 barrels a day.
On Tuesday, the 9th of October, the event calendar is light in important data releases, but the global investors should keep an eye on German Trade Balance data and Canadian Housing Starts data.

NZD/USD analysis for 09/10/2018:
The ANZ Monthly Inflation Gauge of New Zealand economy rose 0.3% m/m in September (2.9% y/y). On a quarterly basis, the Gauge rose 1.4% in Q3. There is some noise in the quarterly movement, such as payback from a weak Q2 signal and new-look accommodation services. Aside from this, seasonal price rises and ongoing housing-related price pressures are keeping the Gauge ticking along.
Let's now take a look at the NZD/USD technical picture at the H4 time frame. The market is still in the downtrend as the price keeps making new lower lows. The recent high was made at the level of 0.6468, but the bears have pushed the price down quickly from this level. Currently, the price is approaching the technical support at the level of 0.6421 and if this support is violated, then another support can be seen at the weekly timeframe, at the level of 0.6346. Please notice, that the market conditions are now extremly oversold, so a short-term pullback can occur any time soon.
