  • The New Zealand dollar is down -0.56% against the USD, trading at 0.6422, day's high was at 0.6466, and lows were at 0.6407
  • The kiwi also fell against AUD and the euro with the trade-weighted index off 0.7 percent at 69.4, its lowest in nearly a month
  • Immediate resistance for NZD/USD is seen at 0.6452 (Daily Tenkan-Sen), while support on the downside is located at 0.6407 (Session lows Aug 31st)
