FXStreet (Mumbai) - NZD/USD rebounds, trades at 10-DMA
The NZD/USD bounced-back and traded higher, erasing sharp losses seen in the Asian session as market shifts focus to tomorrow Kiwi nation’s trade balance data.
The NZD/USD pair now trades higher by 0.24% at 0.7762, having recovered from intraday low hit at 0.7715 levels. The Kiwi pair slid in the Asian morning trades on the back of downbeat New Zealand’s Westpac Consumer Sentiment, which fell for the third straight quarter. The Kiwi is likely to trade upside in absence of any major macro data later in the day, as traders now await tomorrow’s trade balance figure which is expected to show a m/m shrink in trade deficit.
Moreover, a rebound in commodities prices is also likely to support the NZD/USD pair. New Zealand is a commodity export-oriented economy.
NZD/USD Technical Levels
The pair has an immediate resistance at 0.7804 (Dec 17 High) levels, above which gains could be extended to 0.7850 (Dec 12 High) levels. On the flip side, support is seen at 0.7726 (Dec 19 Low) levels, below which it could extend losses to 0.7695 (Dec 5 Low) levels.
