Overview:
NZD/USD is expected to consolidate with bullish bias. NZD/USD is undermined by the fears of economic slowdown in China and kiwi sales on the soft NZD/JPY cross amid increased investor risk aversion. But the NZD/USD losses are tempered by the expectations that the RBNZ would increase the official cash rate to 2.75% from 2.5% and kiwi demand on the soft AUD/NZD cross. Daily chart is mixed as MACD is bullish, five- and 15-day moving averages are advancing, but stochastics is bearish at overbought zone.
