NZD/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that this pair looked extremely bearish and seemed about ready to break its low at 0.6400. This is exactly what happened and although we got a pull-back upwards over the Asian session, the Kiwi has now resumed falling as equity markets started to sell off again following the market open in Europe.
There are major news events due later for both sides of this pair, and if the surprises are positive for the USD and negative for the NZD, we could see a sharp fall in this pair later. It looks like an excellent pair to be short of right now.
Regarding the NZD, there will be a release of GDT Price Index data during NZ business hours. Concerning the USD, there will be a release of ISM Manufacturing PMI data due at 3pm London time.
