NZD/USD firmer around 0.6465, USD retreats

NZD/USD supported above 0.6440
Currently, the NZD/USD pair trades +0.42% at 0.6464, having posted a high at 0.6472 and a low at 0.6442. The NZD/USD pair rebounded this session as US dollar gave away a part of Wednesday’s gains mainly on the back of profit-taking.
US dollar strength dominated across the FX board on Wednesday as risk sentiment clawed its way back after several days of volatility and as US economic data was surprisingly upbeat.

Moreover, return of risk-sentiment after China stocks rallied along with other Asian indices also helped the Kiwi to regain lost ground.
NZD/USD Levels to consider
To the upside, the next resistance is located at 0.6517 (Aug 26 High) levels and above which it could extend gains 0.6586 (Aug 17 High) levels. To the downside immediate support might be located at 0.6442 (Today’s Low) below that at 0.6400.
