FxWirePro: NZD/USD retakes 0.72 handle, Kiwi supported by slightly upbeat Chinese CPI and PPI data

  • NZD/USD retraced brief dip below 0.72 handle and has edged higher to currently trade at 0.7215.
     
  • Kiwi remains buoyed on the back of slightly upbeat Chinese CPI and PPI figures.
     
  • China's May Consumer Price Index came at -0.1% m/m vs -0.2% expected, and was 1.5 % y/y vs 1.5% expected.
     
  • Meanwhile, China’s Producer Price Index for May arrived at 5.5% y/y vs 5.7% expected and 1.2% last.
     
  • 5-DMA at 0.7189 is strong support for the pair. Break below could see minor weakness.
     
  • The pair is trading with a major bullish bias, RSI strong at 71 and MACD supporting uptrend.
     
  • Stochs are in highly overbought territory which warrants some caution. Also some bearish divergence seen on intraday charts.

Support levels - 0.7189 (5-DMA), 0.7151 (50% Fibo 0.74854 to 0.68176 fall), 0.7103 (200-DMA)

Resistance levels - 0.7230 (61.8% Fib), 0.7275 (channel top), 0.73
