Analysis and Recommendation:

The NZD/USD down exchanging at 0.7763. The kiwi gained more than half a US cent after the European Central Bank endorsed Spain’s financial bailout even as Fitch Ratings said the nation won’t meet budget-deficit goals but gave back a bit in late day trading.

Spain’s bailout will boost Europe’s financial stability and governments must help dismiss investors’ doubts the crisis is spreading, the ECB said in its biannual Financial Stability Review. But Fitch cut the rating of 18 Spanish banks after concerns about further loan deterioration.European policymakers are doing their best to boost sentiment but the market begs to differ as they are doing this with words and not actions or plans.
