NZD/USD remains in rising channel despite sell-off

With European and US equities falling sharply and US treasury yields sliding, NZD/USD dropped from 0.6848 to 0.6761 the low. 

However, as analysts at Westpac noted, the Kiwi was the most resilient of the antipodeans to the global risk aversion in recent trade, while the commodity bloc currencies took a beating with oil dropping heavily overnight to $36.67 bbls before a recovery back to $37.66 bbls.
