NZD/USD resting up on a down week

FXStreet (Guatemala) - NZD/USD is trading at 0.8624, down -0.26% on the day, having posted a daily high at 0.8654 and low at 0.8613.

NZD/USD is taking a breather on its decent at these levels with Asia finished for the week and the data behind us, so to speak. Meanwhile, RBS strategists explained that it's worth reiterating how weaker than expected NZ retail sales data provides more reason to think RBNZ won't follow through with a rate rise in June. “Our sell zone on NZD/USD is 0.87-0.90 for huge multi month declines”. However, the strategists also went onto suggest that strengthening data in the US paired with a still credibly dovish Fed plays positive for carry currencies more broadly.
