Key Quotes
“NZD/USD retains negative daily momentum and should retest the 0.6400 area during the week ahead, en-route to our multi-month target of 0.6200”.
“The fresh news this week was decidedly bearish: the RBNZ shifted to an explicit easing bias, just short of signalling an imminent rate cut”.
“We expect it will do so either in March or June, and eventually take the OCR to 2.00% (from 2.5% now)”.
“The other piece of news was Fonterra’s reduced milk price forecast, from $4.60 to $4.15, which will hurt sentiment in the agricultural sector”.
