The New Zealand dollar weakened against its major opponents in
Asian deals on Monday, following comments from the nation's Finance
Minister Grant Robertson that the government's plan to reform the
Reserve Bank of New Zealand's monetary policy that would target
full employment as well as price stability could lower rates. "What
it means is that when the Reserve Bank is making its decisions
about the official cash rate, when it's thinking about monetary
policy, of course it thinks about managing and controlling
inflation, and that's vital. But also it thinks about other goals
in the economy such as making sure that we maximize employment,"
Robertson said in a television interview on Sunday. Targeting
employment goal along with price stability when making monetary
policy decision could potentially lower rates, Robertson told.
"We're actually just bringing our monetary policy up to speed to
make sure it's contributing to the wider outcomes we want in the
economy," he added. The RBNZ has maintained its cash rate at a
record low of 1.75 percent. Investors await the Fed meeting on
Tuesday and Wednesday, the BOJ decision on Tuesday and the U.S.
jobs report for October due on Friday for directional cues.
The kiwi rose against its major rivals on Friday. The kiwi
weakened to a 4-day low of 1.1230 against the aussie, after having
advanced to an 11-day high of 1.1136 at 5:00 pm ET. If the kiwi
falls further, 1.14 is possibly seen as its next support level.
Reversing from an early high of 1.6847 against the euro, the kiwi
dropped to 1.6989. The next possible support for the kiwi is seen
around the 1.72 area. The kiwi edged down to 0.6835 against the
greenback, off its early 4-day high of 0.6888. Continuation of the
kiwi's downtrend may see it challenging support around the 0.67
region. The kiwi held steady against the yen, following more than a
5-month low of 77.68 hit at 12:15 am ET. This may be compared to a
4-day peak of 78.33 hit in early Asian deals. The kiwi is seen
finding support around the 76.00 mark. Preliminary figures from the
ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry showed that Japan's retail
sales increased as expected in September, after falling in the
previous month.
Retail sales rose a seasonally adjusted 0.8 percent
month-over-month in September, reversing a 1.6 percent fall in
August. The figure also matched consensus estimate. Looking ahead,
U.K. mortgage approvals and M4 money supply for September and
Eurozone economic confidence index for October are due in the
European session. In the New York session, U.S. personal income and
spending outlays for September as well as German preliminary CPI
for October are set for release.
