Surge in momentum is likely to lead to further New Zealand Dollar (NZD) strength to 0.6380; 0.6410 is unlikely to come under threat. NZD is expected to continue to head higher, potentially to 0.6410, UOB Group FX strategists Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note.

NZD to head higher, potentially to 0.6410

24-HOUR VIEW: “After NZD rose sharply two days ago, we indicated yesterday that “the increase in momentum suggests further NZD strength towards 0.6290.” We added, “the major resistance at 0.6310 is unlikely to come into view.” NZD rose more than expected, soaring to a high of 0.6343 in late NY trade before continuing to rise in Asian trade today. The surge in momentum is likely to lead to further advance in NZD even though the major resistance at 0.6410 is unlikely to come under threat. The minor resistance at 0.6380 appears to be within reach. Support is at 0.6330, a breach of 0.6310 would suggest that NZD is not advancing further.”
