Week ahead: Kiwi rate decision and China...

IG GROUP
About this episode

The most volatile event of the week ahead is likely to be the New Zealand rate decision on Wednesday morning. With the Kiwi dollar at a nine-month low against the Aussie, if the Reserve Bank of New Zealand continues with its hawkish rhetoric, there’s a possibility of a short AUD/NZD winning on the day. The other event will be the Caixin and NBS PMI data in China which will give a deeper understanding of just how weak the Chinese economy is. Corporate data includes Ocado and Zoom on earnings watch.
