The New Zealand dollar rose intraday despite an unexpected decline in the country’s economy. By the time of writing, though, the currency trimmed its gains, losing them outright against some of the rivals.

The New Zealand dollar was soft today, falling against the majority of its most-traded peers, though managing to gain on some of them. Today’s macroeconomic data in New Zealand did not show a clear picture of the nation’s economic wellbeing, thus failing to support the kiwi.

The New Zealand dollar was the strongest among the most-traded currencies on the Forex market today after Standard & Poor’s upgraded New Zealand’s credit ratings with a stable outlook.

Commodity currencies were among the strongest on the Forex market during Friday’s trading, with the New Zealand dollar outperforming all other most-traded counterparts, except for the Australian dollar. Domestic macroeconomic data released overnight was largely positive but did not give the New Zealand currency a noticeable boost.

The euro rose today on the back of better-than-expected macroeconomic releases in the eurozone. The shared 19-nation currency gained against all of its most-traded rivals, except for the New Zealand dollar, which was extremely strong during Tuesday’s trading.

The New Zealand dollar was rather soft today, opening sharply lower and struggling to regain its footing. That is despite the market sentiment that was supportive of riskier currencies linked to commodities, such as the New Zealand dollar. Domestic macroeconomic data was negative for the kiwi.

The New Zealand dollar was extremely weak today despite positive domestic macroeconomic data. In fact, the kiwi fell against all of its most-traded rivals. Furthermore, the New Zealand currency was one of the weakest for the week.

The New Zealand dollar performed the same way as its Australian counterpart today: rising initially but retreating later. That is despite the supportive market sentiment and positive domestic macroeconomic data.

The New Zealand dollar was the strongest currency on the Forex market during Asian and European hours of Wednesday’s trading after the release of better-than-expected employment data in New Zealand. Other news was positive for the kiwi as well for the most part, except for China’s disappointing services PMI.

The euro was heading to end Friday as the weakest major currency on the Forex market. The shared 19-nation currency fell even against the US dollar, despite rising initially after the release of terrible US nonfarm payrolls. At the same time, the euro is currently trying to rebound versus the New Zealand dollar.
