The high probability range rose from 15% to nearly 19%, and the slope became steeper, especially above 3680-3700 (spot price of about 3673-3693), indicating that "high prices mean strong waves", and once it breaks through, it is easy to trigger a rapid saw-saw and a false breakthrough. Strategically, pay attention to the gains and losses of 3680-3700: if the position ratio is greater than 1 and the implied volatility continues to rise and approaches 20%, tend to reduce positions at highs and defend retreat; if the transaction ratio continues to weaken toOn September 17th, ahead of the Federal Reserves interest rate decision (widely expected to be a 25 basis point rate cut), long-term U.S. Treasury yields edged lower, with the 10-year yield approaching 4%. Short-term Treasury yields were largely unchanged, as the market has already priced in a rate cut. However, if the decision includes any comments on future interest rate trends, yields could fluctuate. "Bond investors remain cautious, and we expect yields to react," said Frank Walbaum of Naga in a report. The market analyst noted that weakening economic expectations or policy guidance for further rate cuts could lead to further declines in Treasury yields and the US dollar; however, a more cautious signal could provide temporary relief.

NZD/USD Price Analysis: Protects NZ Inflation-Induced Support Break; 0.6140 in Sight

During the mid-Asian session on Thursday, NZD/USD bears maintain control at the lowest levels in five weeks while defending New Zealand (NZ) losses caused by inflation near 0.6160. This justifies not only the weaker-than-anticipated New Zealand inflation, but also the recent break of one-month-old horizontal support, which is now immediate resistance, as well as the bearish MACD signals.

 

As measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) policy purists were unpleasantly surprised by New Zealand's (NZ) first-quarter (Q1) inflation. Despite this, the Quarter-over-Quarter change in the New Zealand Consumer Price Index (CPI) decreases from 1.7% and 1.4%, respectively, to 1.2%.

 

Following the publication of disappointing data, the NZD/USD pair breached a one-month-old horizontal support level, which is now acting as a barrier near 0.6170. The bearish MACD signals are now directing NZD/USD traders toward a horizontal support level that has been in place for 1.5 months and is located near 0.6140.

 

If the NZD/USD bears remain dominant above 0.6140, the 2023 low of 0.6085 cannot be ruled out.

 

The 200-day simple moving average hurdle of 0.6220 becomes crucial for NZD/USD investors to return.

 

If the NZD/USD pair remains above 0.6220, a run up to the previous weekly high around 0.6315 and then to the monthly high of 0.6386 cannot be ruled out.
