  • NZD/USD resumed upside, reversing previous session's drop on upbeat comments from New Zealand Finance Minister Robertson.
     
  • Robertson said earlier today that he is "Comfortable" with trend in NZ dollar.
     
  • Further, upbeat NZ manufacturing PMI data along with renewed selling pressure in USD on account of looming uncertainty over a bill to change the US tax code lending support.
     
  • Data released earlier today showed NZ manufacturing PMI rose to 57.7 in Nov versus 57.2 last.
     
  • Technical studies support upside in the pair, next bull target is at 0.71 levels (converged 100 and 200 DMAs). Breakout there could see continuation of uptrend.
     
  • Immediate support is seen at 0.6971 (5-DMA) and we see bullish invalidation only on break below 20-DMA at 0.6891. 
     
  • Focus now on U.S. industrial production data later tonight in the NY session.
