EURNZD Euro vs New Zealand Dollar

Antipodean currencies such as the Australia and the New Zealand dollars weakened against their major currencies in the Asian session on Thursday, amid disappointing earnings reports, a surge in Treasury yields, concerns about interest rates and the outlook for economic growth. Worries about the conflict in the Middle East amidst reports of an imminent ground invasion of Gaza by Israel also weighed on the markets.

Traders also looked ahead to key U.S. economic data in the coming days, including a preliminary reading on third quarter GDP on Thursday and personal income on Friday.

In the Asian trading today, the Australian dollar fell to more than a 1-year low of 0.6270 against the U.S. dollar and nearly a 2-week low of 94.25 against the yen, from yesterday's closing quotes of 0.6295 and 94.47, respectively. If the aussie extends its downtrend, it is likely to find support around 0.60 against the greenback and 92.00 against the yen.

Against the euro and the Canadian dollar, the aussie dropped to a 2-day low of 1.6824 and a 3-day low of 0.8664 from Wednesday's closing quotes of 1.6787 and 0.8687, respectively. The aussie may test support around 1.70 against the euro and 0.84 against the loonie.

Against the euro and the yen, the kiwi dropped to nearly a 2-month low of 1.8267 and nearly a 1-1/2-month low of 86.78 from Wednesday's closing quotes of 1.8243 and 86.94, respectively. If the kiwi extends its downtrend, it is likely to find support around 1.85 against the euro and 84.00 against the yen.

Meanwhile, the safe-haven currency, the U.S. dollar, strengthened against its major counterparts in the Asian session as Asian shares traded lower.
