Kiwi falls to 2-1/2 year low
FXStreet (Mumnai) - The New Zealand dollar plunges to 2-1/2 year low against its US counterpart on the back of disappointing Chinese import data accompanied with Friday’s spectacular US employment numbers.
The NZD/USD pair trades at 0.7652 levels, 0.81% lower as compared to previous session’s close of 0.7678. The pair continues facing downside pressure amid falling commodity prices, and a strong recovery in the US economy.
The US dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of six major currencies, hit a peak of 89.50 last week, the strongest level since March 2009 and now trades higher at 89.39.
NZD/USD Technical Levels
To the upside, the next resistance is located at 0.7695 (20-day SMA), above which it could extend gains to 0.7738 (50-day SMA) levels. To the downside immediate support might be located at 0.7603 (Sept 2011 Low), below that at 0.7576 (April 2011 Low) levels.
