NZD/USD dropped just prior to the RBA announcement

AUD/USD had lost a little bit of ground after the data earlier today, but the kiwi had hung in there.

So maybe it was a bit of 'catch up' (catch down more like).

There is no fresh news - plenty of politics related as a new PM is sought (John Key announced his resignation yesterday).

From what I've heard it was a few bids removed in precaution ahead of the RBA announcement, and a seller coming in, and then the stops that remained became more in danger ... and down we went.

Its staging a bit of a bounce as I update:

Low around 0.7095 on the spike down.
