The NZD/USD opens higher this morning after a positive night for stock markets and speculation that Germany may pay Greece one bundled relief payment of EUR 44bln – currently 0.8195.
This news was coupled by more noise about an imminent Spanish bailout request.
German ZEW outlook survey slid from -11.5 to -15.7 for November, whilst UK CPI leapt to 2.7% in October.
The RICS UK house price survey also showed the least pessimistic number in two years.
Dow Jones +0.30%, S&P +0.47%, FTSE +0.33%, CRB Index +0.05%.
The NZD opens the crosses - 0.7850 AUD, 0.6450 EUR, 0.5160 GBP, 65.15 JPY, 0.8205 CAD.
NZ Retail Sales numbers this morning at 10.45am, could be a mover considering the uncertainty around the RBNZs next move.
