NZD/JPY soars to test the 88 handle

FXStreet (Guatemala) - NZD/JPY is trading at 87.81, up 0.67% on the day, having posted a daily high at 88.02 and low at 86.97.

There has been an initial spike and rally in the NZD across the board while the RBNZ statement read hawkish at first glance. “New Zealand’s economic expansion has considerable momentum, with GDP estimated to have grown by around 4 percent in the year to June”, Governor Graeme Wheeler. But he continued, and said “The speed and extent to which the OCR will need to rise will depend on future economic and financial data, and its implications for inflationary pressures”. RBS strategist explained that “Even in the event of a hike, we see the risks to the new forecasts and the signalling language as reflecting a more balanced, data dependent stance on monetary policy going forward”. Thus, although there has been an initial spike in the NZD to the upside, these moves could be short lived.
