NZD/USD: risk-off flows and bears attacking the downside

By FXStreet FXStreet (Guatemala) – NZD/USD is currently trading at 0.6311 with a high of 0.6332 and a low of 0.6309.

NZD/USD is subject to supply in the risk-off mood in the markets. The bird is falling away from the 0.64 handle and is threatening an advance to the downside to test last session lows below 0.6300.

Equities have taken a hit again and commodities, especially the mining sector on the Glencore news. They are all bearing the brunt of the bears and global uncertainties, as investors scramble to bonds, euro and the Yen, leaving the greenback to fend for itself and the antipodean currencies out to dry. The main focus in this respect today will the Chinese stock performances while we await further impetus from the data in the US and China later this week.

NZD/USD levels
