NZD/USD chart - Trading View
NZD/USD was trading 0.07% higher on the day at 0.7166 at around 03:35 GMT, slipping lower from session highs at 0.7179.
Data released by Statistics New Zealand on Monday showed New Zealand's Retail Sales was a big beat on expectations.
New Zealand retail sales climbed a seasonally adjusted 2.5 percent on quarter in Q1 2021, beating forecasts at -4.4% and followed an upwardly revised 2.6 percent contraction in the three months prior.
Retail sales data is a key input for Gross Domestic Product and there is not much room for the Reserve Bank of New Zealand to be much more dovish and on such data.
Meanwhile, New Zealand Institute of Economic Research's (NZIER’s) Shadow Board sees stronger case for tightening in the upcoming May meeting.
Pointing to some uncertainty over sustainable recovery, particularly in light of continued border restrictions, members saw a cautious approach as justified for the upcoming meeting.
