Fundamental Overview:
Fears emanating from the latest bank fallouts in the US and Europe sent investors fleeing from riskier assets like the kiwi.
The New Zealand dollar takes an added hit from data showing the New Zealand economy contracted by a surprisingly sharp 0.6% in the December quarter.
Further, the YoY figures also eased to 2.2% compared to the 3.3% expected and 6.4% in previous readings.
Softer-than-expected GDP data raised fears of New Zealand credit rating cut, weighing further on the kiwi.
The poor result only reinforced the market move to pricing in fewer rate hikes from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ).
Swaps now implied a quarter-point hike in April was a 50-50 chance, compared to an absolute certainty a week ago.
Technical Analysis:
