The New Zealand Dollar (NZD) came roaring back this week against the British Pound (GBP) from 0.4795 (2.0860) to reach 0.4850 (2.0630) regaining last week’s momentum as risk flow improved. UK labour market data came in mixed with unemployment rising to 4.4% from 4.3% the highest number since Oct 2021 while the number of paid payroll numbers declined 3,000 after 36,000 fell in April. We have a busy week of economic data next week with UK CPI y/y, Bank of England Cash Rate and NZ GDP to digest. Resistance on the chart in the pair is 0.4855 (2.0600) the 28 Feb high- a break past here would suggest further upside for the kiwi.
