FxWirePro: NZD/USD retraces losses, kiwi buoyed by solid China services PMI

  • NZD/USD erased losses and swung back into the positive territory after upbeat China services PMI.
     
  • A positive Chinese services PMI print followed the release of upbeat Chinese Caixin manufacturing PMI yesterday, lifted sentiment around the antipodeans.
     
  • USD price-action and broader market sentiment will continue to have a significant influence on the pair.
     
  • Upside maybe limited as USD remains supported by upbeat US data and FOMC minutes.
     
  • Technically, the pair faces stiff resistance at 200-DMA at 0.7104. Decisive breakout above could see further upside.
     
  • Focus now on US ADP jobs and unemployment claims data slated for release in the NA session for further impetus.

Support levels - 0.7104 (200-DMA), 0.7101 (5-DMA), 0.7061 (100-SMA)

Resistance levels - 0.7169 (50% Fib retrace of 0.7558 to 0.67804 fall), 0.7190 (Falling Trendline), 0.7261 (61.8% Fib)
