Daily outlook for NZD/USD

Westpac Research notes:

NZD/USD 1 day: The multi-week decline remains intact, targeting 0.7280 next. The resurgent US dollar is the main driver.

NZD/USD 1-3 month:  Multi-month, we expect the US dollar uptrend to resume with stronger US data in Q2 and Q3 and therefore expect NZD/USD to fall, the next major target being 0.7120. Apart from the US dollar story there are negative local factors to watch out for, particularly low inflation during much of 2015, plus the RBNZ's conditional easing bias. One of its conditions - softer wage inflation - has arguably already been met, while inflation expectations are softening too. That leaves domestic demand activity (which remains robust) to be ticked before the RBNZ can contemplate easing.
