FOREX: Kiwi Dollar Extends Relief Rally, EURNZD Tests Cluster Support

Nov-27 11:07
  • NZD outperforms again as New Zealand retail sales and sentiment data supports renewed optimism following Wednesday's "hawkish" cut from the RBNZ. NZDUSD briefly extended its recovery from the Nov 21 cycle lows to 2.7%, and a positive close today would mean the fifth consecutive winning session for the pair.
  • Outgoing Governor Hawkesby noting the bar is high for further cuts, alongside the optimism for risk sentiment, provide sufficient tailwinds for the Kiwi to extend the correction higher. 0.5800 remains a key medium-term pivot.
  • Relative underperformance for the Euro has prompted EURNZD to decline a further 0.35% today, bridging the gap to a key cluster of support (both the 50-day EMA and the bottom of the bull channel being tested – shown below). A daily/weekly close below this area would certainly alter the short-term trend, enhancing the likelihood of a greater corrective pullback towards pivot support at 2.00.
  • New RBNZ Governor Anna Breman, from Sweden's Riksbank, takes over next Monday, December 1. Breman is an experienced economist, previously Chief Economist and Global Head of Macro Research at Swedbank before her time at the Riksbank. Her new role should not be expected to prompt a major tilt in the RBNZ's policy stance ahead. Still, we watch for any rhetoric in her public appearances once these will be scheduled.

A bullish structure in Treasuries is intact and recent weakness appears corrective. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode position, highlighting a dominant uptrend. A resumption of gains would refocus attention on 114-02, the Oct 24 high and a bull trigger. A breach of this hurdle would confirm a resumption of the medium-term uptrend, and open 114-10, the Apr 7 high (cont). Support to watch is 112-26, the 50-day EMA.
