Analysis and Recommendation:

The NZD/USD is trading at 0.7944 adding a few pips in this morning’s trading session after giving back most of its overnight gains. Yesterday the news from China weighed heavily on all commodity currencies and trading partners.

It reached as high as 79.84 cents in New York trading.

The CRB Commodity Index of 19 commonly traded commodities fell 1.4 per cent as an oil worker strike ended in Norway and figures showed China’s imports are growing slower than expected.
