OANDA:NZDUSD   New Zealand Dollar / U.S. Dollar
Current trend

The quotes of NZD/USD grew by 1.76% during the day in view of the weakening US dollar.

USD is under pressure from the consequences of Harvey storm that has recently hit the USA. Many major infrastructural facilities were temporarily closed due to the weather which caused the growth of the number of initial jobless claims in the USA. According to the statistics released yesterday, the indicator grew to 298K from 236K a week earlier. The returns on US bonds dropped yesterday in view of Irma storm that is approaching the shores of Florida, and pushed US dollar down. This fall of macroeconomic indicators rapidly reduces the chance of yet another increase of the interest rate by the Fed this year. These factors give considerable support to the rate of NZD/USD.
