The NZD/USD jumped 0.0021 in this morning’s session to trade at 0.7920. The pair had declined against a strong dollar and worries about the data release from China.

This morning China released a slew of data, the most important was GDP which was down as forecast, but actual was in line with economists’ expectations. Chinese Fix Asset Investments climbed as sell as an increase in retail sales. This is positive for the kiwi.
