RBNZ cut, NZD rallied…oops, it happened again – Socgen

By FXStreet FXStreet (Guatemala) – Kit Juckes, economist at Societe Generale explained that the RBNZ, as expected by the majority of people who forecast RBNZ moves, cut the Cash Rate to 2.5%.

Key Quotes:

“The Kiwi took off like a grouse and so far, the FX market has not been able to shoot it down. A bit like the Euro? The market conclusion is that the RBNZ may be done, which may, or may not be true (the Chinese economy will have something to say here, methinks). But it all makes next week even more complicated.

Get your psychology hat on, this has little to do with economics.”
