Normalization of the US-China relations may support the New Zealand dollar
US President Donald Trump announced that he is going to make a big deal with China. This can reduce the intensity of mutual trade wars. Will the NZDJPY rise?
Such a move indicates the strengthening of the New Zealand dollar against the Japanese yen. China is an important trading partner of New Zealand. The normalization of its relations with the US can support the New Zealand currency. In turn, the attractiveness of the yen as a safe haven asset in Southeast Asia may decline. Earlier, the United States increased import duties on Chinese goods worth $250 billion a year. China in response, increased duties on US goods worth $110 billion a year. The next meeting of the Bank of Japan will be held on October 31. As expected, it will keep the loose monetary policy and the rate (-0.1%), which may become an additional negative factor for the yen. The next meeting of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will take place on November 7. According to forecasts, it will not change the current rate (+ 1.75%). The difference in interest rates can contribute to the increase in the NZDJPY currency pair.
On the daily timeframe, NZDJPY: D1 approached the resistance line of the downtrend. It must be overcome before opening a buy position. A number of technical analysis indicators formed buy signals. The further price increase is possible in case of the worsening of economic indicators of Japan and their improvement in New Zealand.
