Current trend
On Tuesday, the NZD/USD pair was trading flat. The demand for the USD is not high, as market participants have relatively calmed down on US rate hike speculations. The NZD, at the same time, is affected by weakness in the oil market and disappointing statistics from China, where stock markets tend to decline again.
In the morning session, the NZD is strengthening, supported by favorable data, released in New Zealand. ANZ Activity Outlook grew higher than expected, from 12.2% to 16.7%.
