NZDUSD trades 0.11% higher at 0.6354 after tested earlier in Asian trading session the 50-day moving average helped by the optimism around trade talks between the two biggest economies and the extension in Brexit. New Zealand trade gap narrowed in September versus the same month of the previous year, amid exports increase of 5.1% to NZD 4469 million and imports declined 2.1% to NZD 5710 million.
NZDUSD felt pressure after RBA cut rates and traders increase bets that RBNZ will follow. RBNZ, in its last monetary policy committee, left interest rates unchanged at 1% as widely expected by markets. The central bank noted that the risks are to the downside amid trade tensions, geopolitical turbulence and low business confidence.
