NZD/USD reacts around 0.8272 session lows after strong punch

FXstreet.com (Chicago) - NZD/USD tops worst performers this Thursday in Asia plunging 0.34% pips within an hour for a total weekly loss of 0.48%. The pair is still green in monthly performance up 2.59% but losses account for over 100 pips in a few days. Free-falling to 0.8272 session lows, the pair struggles to stretch higher.

The US announcement of Yellen’s new chairman makes headlines prior Boehner’s meeting with republicans in later hours that could conclude with the ending of the government shutdown. On earlier NZ data release, the business NZ PMI for September was 54.3 vs. past 57.5. Better than expected Australian job market data seem to be having a negative impact on the pair.
