Analysis and Recommendation:

The NZD/USD is trading at 0.8139 after the release of the first few eco reports from China. China reported a higher than expected CPI with a lower than forecast PPI. China will be releasing all of economic data for July today and tomorrow, although there is not a specific schedule. Markets are expecting to see trade balance numbers later today.

Other then China, today, the kiwi will respond to global markets and the US dollar index with very little in news flow or eco data expected. The pair should remain within a fairly narrow range.
