The trend was lonely interrupted by the RBNZs hasty flip from neuter to a lessening bias, even after a decent New Zealand Q4 GDP footnote. Near term, we expect the kiwi to remain undermined by the freshening that all RBNZ meeting is now enlivened for a late scratch. Indeed Westpac now expects a clip vis--vis 8 May.
