NZD/USD extending losses deeper into 0.82 handle

FXStreet (Guatemala) - NZD/USD lost the 0.83 handle post the FOMC minutes and a bullish statement coming from Fed’s Bullard. That coupled with worse than expected, albeit second tier, New Zealand data, the pair is extending its losses further into the 0.82 handle.

NZD/USD is extending losses that were as a result of upbeat Fed comments and accompanying minutes from the FOMC meeting which indicate that the economic outlook is good with also a few of the participants of the meeting considering the possibility of a rate rise soon. PPI out put and inputs for New Zealand read negatively vs both the consensus and previous QoQ.
