NZD/USD rallies 125 pips on RBNZ hawkishness

FXStreet (Guatemala) - NZD/USD is trading at 0.7782, up 1.34% on the day, having posted a daily high at 0.7806 and low at 0.7662.

NZD/USD has skyrocketed up to test 0.7800 in a 125 pip spike while the RBNZ left rates on hold at 3.50% but mentioned that the OCR is expected to be increased which is what has sent the bird flying as the markets were prepared for a more neutral stance. The report is hawkish but still contains jawboning and requirement for a lower bird as it “remains unjustified and unsustainable” at these current levels.
