NZD/USD Analysis
The USD is strong everywhere, even now against the NZD which had been holding up to some extent. The price has broken below the previously supportive round number of 0.6700 and this area should now probably provide some resistance. There is plenty of USD data coming up later after New York opens and if there are any surprises that weaken the USD, this could be one of the better pairs to use to exploit that, along with USD/JPY.
There is nothing due today concerning the NZD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of the ADP Non-Farm Employment change at 1:15pm London time, followed by Trade Balance data at 1:30pm and ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI data at 3pm. Finally there will be a release of the FOMC Meeting Minutes at 7pm.
