Soft US inflation spur bulls into NZDUSD.
“Lower inflation in US prompts major shift in sentiments across the board.”
Kiwi received higher demand overnight as investors shifts their focus following the release of US inflation data. According to Bureau of Labor Statistics, US inflation increased by 8.5%, slightly lower than forecast of 8.7%. The data prompts investors to flock away from safe havens, favoring risky assets such as the kiwi. On the other hand, New Zealand’s inflation rate came in lower than previous month’s reading with 3.07% vs 3.29%. However, we expect Reserve Bank of New Zealand to continue their policy tightening as planned.
