NZ dollar at two-week highs ahead of rate decision
Issue:ikonfx | Date: 2010年3月10日The New Zealand dollar rose to a two-week high against the U.S. dollar on Wednesday, boosted by its gains against the Australian dollar following a softening demand for mortgages in the neighboring country.
But traders were cautious ahead of the central bank rate review limiting gains.
The kiwi rose to $0.7049/57 at 0315 GMT from opening levels around $0.7034/37 and an offshore low of $0.6962. It hit a high of $0.7058, the best since Feb. 23.
Against the Aussie , the kiwi recovered to a one-week high, after Australian mortgages data for owner-occupied housing came in far worse than forecasts.
