Current trend
On Wednesday, the NZD/USD pair strengthened and broke out important resistance level at 0.6600. The pair is growing amid some recovery of the Asian stock markets and the USD weakness, which is still struggling to recover from poor labour market statistics that came out in the US last Friday. The data significantly lowered the chances of an interest rate hike in the US before the end of the year.
Some hints regarding further actions of the regulator markets expect to get from the FOMC Minutes, due later today.
