The New Zealand dollar Forex market (NZD/USD), also known as the Kiwi dollar has now broke below a key trend line support level at a rising five month long trend line. This suggests that a significant reversal for the Kiwi dollar is in the cards.
What is interesting to note, is that there is an up coming monetary policy meeting of the Reserve Bank of Australia. This selloff of the Kiwi could be Forex traders repositioning their books ahead of this monetary policy announcement by the RBNZ. Traders are expecting the RBNZ to stand pat on rates and signal that there are no future rate hikes or cuts on the near term horizon. This is sapping strength from their local currency, the NZD.
There is also regional news from North Korea which continues to threaten the United States saying the entire American country is now within its strike capability.
