NZDUSD retreats with next support at 0.6130 Momentum oscillators step down NZDUSD has been declining considerably following the pullback from the eight-month high of 0.6298, erasing some of the gains of the previous week.

NZDUSD is up almost 5% so far in August Further gains are likely, but risk of near-term correction is high   NZDUSD is trading near seven-month highs on Wednesday, as the pair continues its August bull charge.
