Key Quotes
"After responding to the sharp fall in dairy prices as well as the expectation the RBNZ would be on hold for some time, NZD/AUD rebounded off 0.8853 on 5 September."
"Markets recently turned their attentions to the iron ore slide and China’s prolonged economic soft patch, taking the cross up to 0.9090."
"However, the RBA’s very clear signal of a steady hand into 2015 contrasts with the RBNZ’s dovish shift in its Sep MPS, and that should weigh on NZD/AUD in Q4."
"Moreover, we continue to look for a recovery in iron ore prices in coming months, such that NZD/AUD above 0.9100 should continue to attract sellers looking for a push to 0.88 during Q4."
