NZD/USD: Likely to continue to trade in a range – UOB Group

New Zealand Dollar (NZD) is likely to continue to trade in a range, probably between 0.5715 and 0.5755. In the longer run, NZD is likely to edge lower toward the major support zone of 0.5650/0.5670, UOB Group’s FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note.

NZD has a chance of edging lower toward 0.5650/0.5670

24-HOUR VIEW: "NZD traded in a 0.5713/0.5751 range yesterday, closing largely unchanged at 0.5734 (+0.08%). Momentum indicators are mostly flat, and NZD is likely to continue to trade in a range today, probably between 0.5715 and 0.5755."

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: "The sharp pullback in NZD last week has resulted in an increase in momentum, albeit not much. From here, NZD is likely to edge lower toward the major support zone between 0.5650 and 0.5670. Currently, the likelihood of NZD breaking this support zone is not high. The downside bias will remain intact provided that NZD remains below 0.5770."
