BNZ Cut by 50 bps, Aussie Jobs Came in Negative & BoE Awaited for Nothing. Despite the RBNZs 50-bp cut to 2.50, NZDUSD quickly recovered from its slide to 0.7340s. The main reason NZDUSD had managed to stabilize was the pre-emptive nature of the rate cut. The RBNZ said: We expect that the current monetary policy accommodation will need to be removed once the rebuilding phase materialises. While this suggest the RBNZ is unlikely deliver further easing, it opens the way for further GDP weakness, something the cenbank alluded to prior to the earthquake. Weekly NZD stochastics appear oversold at this point, so traders can expect corrective moves to as high as 0.7440s before retesting 0.73.NZDCAD remains a favourite short after the Feb 2009 trendine support was broken at 0.7370s, now eyeing a prelim target of 0.6960s.

Catnip, careful in interpreting these strength meters. They do great job in showing the strongest/weakest at a partic point in time, but do not say much about future performance. I said early last week NZD was an attractive short against CAD and EUR. After a sharp decline in NZDCAD, the cross has somewhat stabilized. So this may be time for fresh shorts in NZDCAD and even longs in EURNZD as a way to play the bottom in EUR (as long as EURUSD is close to 1.3850).

NZD and GBP countdown into their respective interest rate decisions (RBNZ Wednesday at 20:00 GMT, BoE Thursday noon GMT). Consensus expects RBNZ to cut by 25-bps to 2.75% but there is talk of a possible 50-bp rate cut. Notably, NZD outperformed AUD and most other currencies on Tuesday when the USD rallied across the board. Potential hedging plays may be considered w/ short NZDUSD and short AUDNZD ahead of the RBNZ, exploiting AUDs ongoing weakness and muted rebound.
