China announced its confidence to impose additional tariffs of 25% on $16 billion worth of US goods. Moreover, the market is waiting for the PPI data (15:30 MT time). The forecast is slightly weaker, but if the actual data is greater than the forecast, the index will go further up. Up to now, it has been trading near $95.25. Positive economic data will pull it to $95.40. Otherwise, the index will keep trading near $95.30.

• Despite the Westpac forecast of the neutral effect of the RBNZ statement on the NZD, the New Zealand dollar significantly fell to lows of March 2016. The RBNZ said it would keep the rate on hold through 2019 and longer in 2020 than was announced in the May statement.

Up to now, NZD/USD has been trading near 0.6650. If the USD is stronger today, the pair will go further down. The next support is at 0.6580. Otherwise, the pair keeps trading near 0.6650.
