Overview:

NZD/USD is expected to trade in lower range after hitting its two-and-a-half year high at 0.8701 on Tuesday. It is undermined by the kiwi sales on buoyant AUD/NZD cross. But NZD/USD losses are tempered by the kiwi demand on NZD/JPY cross amid positive risk appetite and weak yen sentiment, hawkish the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's monetary policy stance and softer dollar sentiment. Daily chart is mixed as MACD is bullish, 5- and 15- day moving averages are advancing, but stochastics is turned bearish at overbought zone.
