FX.co ★ Technical analysis of NZD/USD for June 01, 2014

Overview:

NZD/USD is expected to trade with risks skewed higher. The financial markets in New Zealand are shut on Monday for a public holiday. NZD/USD is supported by the weaker dollar sentiment, Kiwi demand on NZD/JPY cross amid positive risk appetite and NZD/USD interest differential. But NZD/USD gains are tempered by the soft commodity prices and Kiwi sales on buoyant AUD/NZD cross. Daily chart is mixed as MACD is bearish, five and 15-day moving averages are declining, but stochastics is turned bullish at oversold zone.
