NZD/USD is expected to consolidate after hitting the five-year low of 0.6745 on Tuesday. It is undermined by the divergent monetary policy stances of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and the US Federal Reserve, soft dairy prices, and kiwi sales on the buoyant AUD/NZD cross and positive dollar sentiment. But NZD/USD downside is limited by the improved risk sentiment.

Technical comment:

The daily chart is still negative-biased as the MACD is bearish, stochastics stays suppressed at oversold levels. Five and 15-day moving averages are declining.
