Overview:
NZD/USD is trading with risks skewed higher. NZD sentiment was dented on Thursday by more-dovish-than-expected policy statement from Reserve Bank of New Zealand. NZD/USD is also undermined by Kiwi sales on buoyant AUD/NZD cross. But NZD/USD supported by positive global risk sentiment; NZD-USD yield gap; positions adjustment before weekend. Daily chart still negative-biased as MACD bearish, while stochastics stays suppressed at oversold, although inside-day-range pattern was completed on Thursday.
