• NZDUSD regains positive traction on Friday and draws support from a combination of factors.
• A modest USD downtick and a positive risk tone offer some support to the risk-sensitive Kiwi.
• The Fed’s hawkish outlook should help limit the USD losses and cap the pair ahead of the NFP.

The pair currently trades last at 0.58124.

The previous day high was 0.5843 while the previous day low was 0.5741. The daily 38.2% Fib levels comes at 0.578, expected to provide support. Similarly, the daily 61.8% fib level is at 0.5804, expected to provide support.

The NZDUSD pair attracts fresh buying near the 0.5755 region on Friday and reverses the previous day’s slide to over a one-week low. The pair maintains its bid tone through the early European session and is currently placed near the daily high, just above the 0.5700 round-figure mark.

The US Dollar pauses the post-FOMC rally and for now, seems to have snapped a six-day winning streak, which, in turn, offers support to the NZDUSD pair. A generally positive tone around the equity markets is seen weighing on the safe-haven buck and benefiting the risk-sensitive Kiwi. Apart from this, the USD downtick could be attributed to some repositioning trade ahead of the closely-watched US monthly jobs report, due for release later during the early North American session.

That said, elevated US Treasury bond yields, bolstered by a more hawkish stance adopted by the Federal Reserve, should limit any deeper USD pullback and cap gains for the NZDUSD pair. It is worth recalling that Fed Chair Jerome Powell downplayed expectations for a dovish pivot and said that it was premature to discuss a pause in the rate-hiking cycle. Powell added that the terminal rate will still be higher than anticipated and triggered a sharp rise in the US Treasury bond yields.

In fact, the yield on the two-year US government bond, which is highly sensitive to interest rate hike expectations, touched a 15-year high on Thursday and inched closer to the 5% psychological mark. The benchmark 10-year US Treasury note, meanwhile, holds steady above the 4.0% threshold and favours the USD bulls. Heading into the key data risk, the fundamental backdrop might hold back traders from placing aggressive bets and cap the upside for the NZDUSD pair, for the time being.
