AUD/NZD to Test Resistance Near 1.0840 Amid Wait-and-See Approach of the Australian Central Bank

AUD/NZD  Forecast & Technical Analysis for binary options

Australia – CB Leading Index

On Wednesday, at GMT 2:30 p.m., the Conference Board Inc released the month-over-month leading index for Australia. It measures the changes in the level of a composite index based on seven other major fundamental indicators.

The CB leading index aggregates some of the other indicator data. So, HighLow investors consider this to be an important representation of the overall Australian economy. However, since most of these data are previously released, the CB leading index tends to have a minimized immediate market impact.

Last month, the CB leading index came out at -0.4%. If the negative trend continues, it will likely have a bearish effect on the AUD/NZD.

New Zealand – GDT Price Index

On Wednesday., the Global Dairy Trade will release the GDT price index. It measures the changes in the average price of dairy products sold at auction in New Zealand.

The bulk of New Zealand’s exports to the world market consists of dairy products. The rising price of dairy products ensures that foreign buyers have to purchase it at a higher price. The GDT price index acts as a leading indicator of the country’s trade balance. Hence, binary options traders use this data to predict future trade balance. As it helps in the valuation of the New Zealand Dollar against other major currencies.

Last period, the GDT price index increased by -0.8% If the figure declines again this month, it will likely have a bearish effect on the New Zealand Dollar.
