Technical Analysis – NZDUSD downside correction ahead

Posted on October 17, 2018 at 7:16 am GMT

NZDUSD has been comfortably rising since its drop to a 2 ½ -year low of 0.6423 on October 8. However, the recent upside has not violated the long-term downtrend yet and the pair remains bearish in the bigger picture, maintaining the lower lows and the lower highs off 0.7393 and below the Ichimoku cloud. In the short-term, Stochastics suggest that the rally is overdone and a reversal to the downside is around the corner as the green %K line is [..]

Here are the latest developments in global markets: FOREX: The dollar index was fractionally higher early on Tuesday (+0.06%), attempting to recover some of the losses it posted in the previous session.

New Zealand inflation awaited to help kiwi extend rebound – Forex News Preview

Posted on October 15, 2018 at 3:10 pm GMT

New Zealand inflation data for the third quarter will be made public at 2145 GMT on Monday, probably giving impetus to the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s hopes that inflation will rise towards the midpoint of its target. The kiwi lost significant ground lately against the greenback, becoming the worst performer among G10 currencies during the past month after aussie. While an upbeat inflation report could give some joy to the local currency if the numbers strengthen more than the markets are pricing in, the reasoning behind, though, could be unsustainable. Consumer [..]

The yen attracted further demand in the [..]
