NZDUSD: Fresh low in the horizon?
“Deficit widens for New Zealand; greenback continues to triumph.”
NZD/USD slumps towards intraday low following downbeat trade data during early Wednesday trading session. Last month, Trade Balance depreciated to $263 million, significantly lower than previous month of $440 million. Deficit continues to deepen in New Zealand as the China-reliant economy faced with lower exports due to lockdown in Shanghai last month. On the other hand, investors are staying cautious ahead of Fed Chair Jerome Powell testimony which may provide further signal with regards to aggressive policy tightening.
