AUD/NZD to benefit from yield differentials?
A strong 2-day rally this week suggests AUD/NZD has printed its swing low at 1.07266. Whilst NZ inflation data was stronger than expected in Q2 and saw AUD/ZD pull back to 1.0800, we suspect it is still lower from the prior reads to allow the RBNZ to hold rates steady with an economy already in a recession.
We therefore see today's retracement lower to 1.080 as a potential gift for bulls, and for a move to 1.0900 or even 1.1000 over the coming weeks. The RBA may still have to hike once or more and that could see expectations of a lower RBNZ-RBA cash rate and support AUD/NZD.
A break beneath this week's low invalidates the bullish bias.

The market moved to the initial 1.0900 zone and has since produced choppy trade. Whilst the structure still remains bullish, yesterday's softer inflation data from AU makes the bullish case a little less desirable, so happy to step aside having reached our firt target.
