• NZD/USD rebounds from the 0.6200 mark and reverses a part of the overnight losses.
• A positive risk tone undermines the safe-haven USD and benefits the risk-sensitive Kiwi.
• The upside seems limited as traders keenly await the US Core PCE Price Index on Friday.

The pair currently trades last at 0.62436.

The previous day high was 0.6272 while the previous day low was 0.6214. The daily 38.2% Fib levels comes at 0.6236, expected to provide support. Similarly, the daily 61.8% fib level is at 0.625, expected to provide resistance.

The NZD/USD pair attracts fresh buying near the 0.6200 mark on Thursday and builds on its steady intraday ascent through the early European session. The pair is currently placed just below mid-0.6200s, up over 0.25% for the day, and for now, seems to have stalled the overnight rejection slide from a technically significant 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA).

As investors look past softer data from New Zealand, a generally positive tone around the equity markets undermines the safe-haven US Dollar (USD) and turns out to be a key factor benefitting the risk-sensitive Kiwi. Against the backdrop of easing fears of a widespread banking crisis, hopes for a strong economic recovery in China boost investors’ confidence and remain supportive of the prevalent risk-on environment. The optimism is fueled by comments from China’s Premier Li Qiang, promising more stimulus to boost domestic spending and delivering reforms that can help stimulate growth.

The upside for the NZD/USD pair, however, seems limited, at least for the time being, amid reviving bets for further policy tightening by the Federal Reserve (Fed). The takeover of Silicon Valley Bank by First Citizens Bank & Trust Company calmed market nerves about the contagion risk. Furthermore, the fact that no further cracks have emerged in the banking sector over the past two weeks raises hopes that a full-blown banking crisis has been averted. This could allow the US central bank to move back to its inflation-fighting interest rate hikes, which could lend support to the Greenback.

Hence, it will be prudent to wait for strong follow-through and sustained strength above the 200-day SMA before positioning for any further appreciating move for the NZD/USD pair. Investors also seem reluctant and might prefer to wait for the release of the US Core PCE Price Index – the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge on Friday – before placing aggressive directional bets. In the meantime, Thursday’s US economic docket, featuring the final Q4 GDP print and Initial Weekly Jobless Claims, might influence the USD and provide some impetus to the major later during the early North American session.
