Kiwi seesawed following the release of upbeat data.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In the FX Market, the pair of New Zealand dollar against US dollar hovered near the recent highest level despite optimistic data been released in New Zealand. According to the Statistics New Zealand, its nation CPI for the first quarter came in at 0.8%, blowing the forecast of economist at 0.4%, while beyond the fourth quarter of 2019 at 0.5%. The upbeat print of CPI first quarter data did not exerted huge buy-in wave in the market of New Zealand dollar as the data carries little importance where it does not reflects the full damage of Covid-19 on its economy yet. As of now, overall sentiment in NZD market is still remain weak, while having pessimistic view toward the outlook of this market as the fast spreading pandemic is still weighing on the commodity linked currencies such as New Zealand dollar. Despite, New Zealand Prime Minister revealed that the nation will remain in level 4 lockdown for one more week only, and then move to level 3 where the NZ citizens are allowed to work at office. In short run, easing of shutdown restriction may slightly boost up the economy, supporting the economy from the fallout of pandemic. As of writing, the pair of NZD\/USD rose 0.05% to 0.6030.<\/p>\n
