NZD gets ready for RBNZ meeting

New Zealand manufacturing PMI and ANZ Consumer Confidence confirmed positive underlying fundamentals of New Zealand economy. Looks like we are well prepared for the next week RBNZ meeting. The focus on the Central Bank monetary policy decision gives NZD an advantage before the AUD. Though the RBNZ is not expected to raise rates next week it is obviously more hawkish than its Australian counterpart. AUD/NZD sentiment is deeply bearish as long as the cross stays below 1.0600. We have a good chance to see it testing 1.0500 which is considered to be the key support now. The resistance comes at 1.0585, once it is broken the cross may accelerate to 1.0600, which will cap the upside.
