NZD/USD Analysis
The NZD has been the strongest of all the major global currencies over recent weeks, but the chart shows it has been making lower highs against the USD over the last two weeks.
The end of last week saw a nice small consolidating triangle that gave a bullish breakout, but it seems we are again failing to make a new high and instead we may be returning to support at 0.6704. I do not have a great deal of confidence in this support level, I expect the area at around 0.6640 to 0.6630 or so to be much better support.
Regarding the USD, there will be a release of ISM Manufacturing PMI data at 3pm London time. There is nothing due concerning the NZD.
