ASB note from earlier this week on the kiwi dollar

Citing their "short-term valuation model, NZD/USD 'fair value' is currently 0.6350-0.6750

ASB note:

  • 'fundamentals' are not exerting any strong push or pull influence on the NZD/USD at present
  • This is likely contributing to the broader stasis in the currency

What is?

  • risk appetite
  • and hence NZD/USD

They're right.
