The growth-linked New Zealand Dollar managed to hang on to most of its
gains over the past 24 hours despite a downturn in sentiment during the
final hours of the North American trading session. That sent the Dow
Jones and S&P 500 -1.59% and -1.05% respectively as my Wall Street

announced a new post-Brexit tariff regime. The plan would cut about

highlighted that the study did not produce enough critical data in order
to assess its success.

Wednesdays Asia Pacific Trading Session
Asia Pacific benchmark stock indexes – such as the Nikkei 225 and
ASX 200 – could follow the pessimistic mood from the Wall Street trading
session. That may continue to drain some of the gains NZD/USD
accumulated as of late. A deterioration in market mood may also help to
alleviate some declines the Yen and US Dollar experienced.

to peak in late April. Prices paused the latest bounce just under key

focus on the 0.5989 – 0.6014 inflection range. Beyond that area sits
0.5918. Uptrend resumption through resistance exposes 0.6190.
