New Zealand won’t be as lively as other commodity-producing countries this week, but that doesn’t mean we won’t see high volatility.
Which catalysts can cause intraday swings among NZD’s pairs?
Here’s a list!
Lower tier reports
- While these reports can’t dictate NZD’s intraweek direction, they can cause intraday pops and dips you can take advantage of

- ANZ’s commodity prices (June 4, 1:00 am GMT) have been falling since December and last saw a 1.1% dip in March
Market risk sentiment
- Headlines over the U.S.-China conflict will continue to affect the demand for comdolls
- Updates on coronavirus cases, stimulus plans, and economies reopening around the world will continue to matter to NZD’s traders

- NZD can mirror AUD’s reactions to closely-watched economic releases from Australia and China
