Analysis and Recommendation:

The NZD/USD is trading in the morning session at 0.7938 dipping 58pips as the US dollar gathers momentum on negative news from the EU. Over the weekend, the Troika announced that they have terminated funding to Greece. One has to wonder, why Greece has stayed off the financial front pages for the last 10 days.

The kiwi rose to record high against the euro after ministers finally approved a EUR100 billion bailout for Spain’s banking sector.

The New Zealand dollar rose as a high as 65.98 euro cents, the most since the single currency entered circulation in 2002.

The move did little to ease concern about Europe’s woes, with Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy forecasting a second year of recession and Valencia becoming the first region to seek a rescue from the nation’s central government.

There is not eco data or political news expected from New Zealand today, so the pair will move with the US dollar.
