RBNZ cut rate, NZD slump sharply.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

New Zealand dollar received tremendous selling pressure following the release of interest rate decision from Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ). As of writing, pair of NZD\/USD was quoted down 0.43% to 0.6573 during mid-Asian trading session. As widely expected, RBNZ announced to cut its interest rate by 25 basis points from 1.75% to 1.50% due to bleak economic progression in New Zealand. RBNZ quoted that there are still large uncertainties which surrounds the economy and one of the major factors lies upon US-China trade war. Likewise, the central bank was surprised by a weaker downturn in business sentiment and consumer spending, thus initiating an interest cut to balance out the economy. On the other hand, pair of AUD\/USD rose 0.09% to 0.7017. Australian dollar was unfazed by weaker-than-expected trade data from China as market participants pay their attention upon US-China trade talk.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As for commodities, crude oil price rose 0.68% to $61.78 per barrel. Oil price received some support following US sanction against crude oil exporters such as Iran. With sanction in place, investors expect its crude exports to fell more than 500,000 barrels per day, down from 1 million barrels per day in April. Otherwise, gold price rose 0.16% to $1,286.46 a troy ounce following weaker US dollar.<\/p>\n
