NZD/USD testing the 20 dma to the downside
NZD/USD is currently trading at 0.6575 with a high of 0.6583 and a low of 0.6571.
NZD/USD is supported at the 200 sma on the 4hr chart after losing ground this week from above 0.6675 and 0.6738's downside close for last week. Overnight, the GDT price index arrived at -2.8% vs -7.4% prior and this was making the result the 4th drop in a row. This coupled with lower oil puts the kiwi on the back-foot. We now await the FOMC minutes, Chinese CPI's and US CPI's at the end of the week.
