Pair's Outlook
The Kiwi skyrocketed against the US Dollar by mid-Wednesday due to two reasons. Firstly, fundamental data incoming from New Zealand showed was a lot stronger than expected by analysts, as the country is becoming more and more economically stronger. Secondly, the Greenback is falling like a brick due to US politics, as the presidential race tightens and many various market participants dump the US Dollar. It is unlikely that such a large move will occur once more, as the rate was stopped by the monthly R1, and the fundamental information has already been taken into account by the markets.
