Technical Analysis:

• NZD/USD spikes to the highest level since December 14 on the back of a broad-based US dollar sell-off and an upbeat GDT price auction.
• The pair has broken 100-DMA which was capping upside in the previous sessions.
• The pair has edged lower from multi-week highs and is currently trading around 0.7197 levels.
• Ichi cloud top at 0.7187 is strong support, break below could see some weakness upto 0.7174 (50% Fib).

Fundamental Factors:

• Kiwi largely shrugs off slight recovery in dairy prices at the global dairy trade price auction held late yesterday.
• At last night’s GlobalDairyTrade auction, New Zealand dairy prices remained widely stable.
• GDT auction showed average prices climbed 0.6%, which offered relief following a 3.9% drop in the previous auction and strengthened the bid tone around the Kiwi. 
• In focus later during the day will be US CPI release. NZ annual inflation due 26th Jan will be another major influential factor.
• ANZ forecasts NZ CPI to lift to 1.2% – back in the RBNZ’s target band for the first time since Q3 2014.
