The bears tightened their grip on the NZD in the European session, knocking-off NZD/USD to near one-week lows amid weaker stocks and oil prices.
NZD/USD drops further towards 50-DMA at 0.6832
Currently, the NZD/USD pair trades -0.64% lower at 0.6838, having tested 50-DMA supported in the last hour. The Kiwi extends its bearish run into a fourth day today as the bulls were completely battered by the persistent risk-off moods spurred by tumbling oil prices.
Moreover, the NZD/USD pair failed to benefit from broad based USD weakness and now remains heavily offered as traders seek for safe-havens amid widespread cautiousness ahead of the crucial US non-farm payrolls data due later in the American session.
