NZD/USD hits fresh session highs near 0.7520
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The New Zealand extends its recovery from three-week lows against its American counterpart in the mid-Asian session, lifting NZD/USD just ahead of 0.75 barrier. The Kiwi recovered from previous slump and remains supported largely on profit-taking, while a miss on ADP data from the US last session undermined the greenback, helping NZD/USD.
NZD/USD supported at 0.7485
Currently, the NZD/USD pair trades higher by 0.26% at fresh session highs of 0.7518, inching higher towards 0.7550 resistance. NZD/USD continues its recovery mode, supported by below-expected ADP employment data, a forerunner of the highly awaited US non-farm payrolls due on Friday, which dragged the US dollar further in to losses, lending a helping hand to the Kiwi.
ADP published its labour market update in April, showing that 169,000 new jobs were created in the US private sector, missing the expectation of a moderate hike of 200,000 new jobs.
Moreover, the NZD tracks gains from its OZ neighbour after the release of mixed Australian labour market report. While the Kiwi remains underpinned on a fresh bout of profit-taking after the recent weakness.
Meanwhile, markets now turn their focus on weekly jobless claims from US later today for further dollar moves which have major impact on the Kiwi.
NZD/USD Levels to consider
To the upside, the next resistance is located at 0.7556 levels and above which it could extend gains to 0.7576 levels. To the downside immediate support might be located at 0.7485 levels below that at 0.7457 levels.
