The kiwi dollar had a roller-coaster period following the elections. Jacinda Ardern’s ascent to leading the country was accompanied by a big fall in the currency, especially due to the plans to change the RBNZ’s mandate. What’s next? Here are two opinions.
Here is their view, courtesy of eFXnews:
NZD/USD: Relatively Calm After A Busy Political Month; What’s Next? – ING
ING FX Strategy Research discusses NZD outlook noting that after an eventful month, this week provides some relative calm for NZD with only second-tier manufacturing PMI and 3Q PPI inflation data to note (both Fri NZ local time).
“The external environment should remain fairly conducive in the near-term, especially if waning tax reform sentiment continues to weigh on the USD. We see greater risks for a move back above 0.70,’ ING argues.
ING is neutral on NZD/USD around current levels, targeting the pair around 0.70 in 1-month.
