NZD/USD Analysis
The NZD was the strongest mover against the USD, but as the USD has recovered over the past few days, this pair has dropped right back into its range, although it has to be said there is still a bullish tilt. This means that it should be possible to get some trades set-up with conservative profit targets in either direction, and there are key levels nearby both above and below the current price as at the time of writing.
There is nothing due today concerning the NZD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Crude Oil Inventories data at 3:30pm London time, followed by the FOMC Meeting Minutes at 7pm.
