Analysis and Recommendation:

The NZD/USD declined today, following its surrounding counterparts. The pair are trading at 0.7882. NZ is such a small commodity export country; their entire economy is based on their exports to the surrounding nations and their trading partners. With ongoing global slowdown the effects will be felt sharply in this small nation. This week brings a great deal of data, after last week’s strong GDP reports, we will see the NZD trade balance which disappointed markets last month, followed by Business Confidence and Building Consents. This tiny island nation, continue to flourish internally, but a drop in exports could hurt the local businesses quite hard.
