AUD/NZD firmly higher for Friday, into 1.07 as Aussie steps up and Kiwi hesitates
The post AUD/NZD firmly higher for Friday, into 1.07 as Aussie steps up and Kiwi hesitates appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The AUD/NZD caught a firm bid on Friday, climbing into the 1.0700 handle to close out the trading week. The Aussie managed to eke out a new high for the week late in the game, climbing 0.42% for Friday.

Following that will be another showing for the Kiwi, with New Zealand’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation figures for the third quarter, which is forecast to jump from 1.1% to 2% for the quarter-over-quarter figure and decline from 6% to 5.9% for the annualized reading.

The RBA’s minutes are slated to publish early Tuesday at 00:30 GMT.
