NZD/USD: drifting above 1hr200 sma for a bullish close?

By FXStreet NZD/USD is currently consolidating the recovery from 0.6545 to 0.6668 while February’s rally from 0.6460 was capped at 0.6748 and the price was capped there on three occasions pointing to a bias to the downside.

Fundamentally, the bird is exposed to the global uncertainties and deflationary headwinds that the RBNZ’s governor, Wheeler, recent said that the Central Bank will be monitoring Feb and March’s data before deciding to act. The greenback, on the other hand, was gaining traction again and there have been some positive data releases of late from the US economy with the last for this week being the keenly awaited CPI for January expected higher than December.
