NZD/USD could fall as low as 0.61 – Westpac – FXStreet
https://ift.tt/ZenrSGM
NZD/USD is trading at its lowest level in nearly two years at around mid-0.6200. The near term outlook remains bearish, with potential to reach 0.6230 and possibly 0.6100, economists at Westpac report.
“NZD/USD’s downward correction since early April can extend further, the USD remaining supported by the Fed’s tightening cycle as well as broad-based risk-aversion. The next technical target is 0.6230, with 0.6100 a possibility.
“Today’s RBNZ inflation expectation survey for Q2 revealed some slowing in some indicators. Notably, the 2yr-ahead measure remained unchanged, as did the 10yr-ahead measure, suggesting expectations may be at or near a peak.”
“Multi-month, we retain a bullish outlook, targeting 0.7000 by year end. Fed pricing should start to stabilise in the latter part of this year, and NZ commodities are expected to become a major driver of the NZD.”

EUR/USD has advanced above 1.0400 in the American session on Friday after having touched its lowest level in more than five years at 1.0350. The risk-positive market environment causes the greenback to lose its appeal and week-end flows into the London fix seem to be helping the pair edge higher.
GBP/USD has staged a modest rebound and climbed above 1.2200 toward the end of the European session on Friday. On a weekly basis, the pair is still down nearly 200 pips and the latest price action seems to be driven by profit-taking ahead of the weekend.

The irony of Elon Musk taking to Twitter to announce that his deal to take over the company is on hold is not lost on anyone. In an early morning tweet, he said this was due to verification being needed on the amount of fake/spam accounts on Twitter.
