FXstreet.com (Chicago) - NZD/USD remains subdued despite soft attempt to breakthrough immediate resistance giving false alarms to bidders.

Perspective

According to Jim Langlands from FXcharts “the Kiwi once again failed at close to 0.8400 (0.8393 high), having climbed higher after very strong PPI data, and has headed lower in line with the overall US$ strength, ahead of the FOMC release” adding “Today use 0.8300/90 as a guide, with a more medium term view that if we can get below the 0.8190 neckline and the 200DMA at 0.8170, there is a good chance of heading towards the Head shoulder objective at 0.7850.”
