Global risk budget propels NZD/JPY.

Another major driver, in NZD/JPY’s performance is the global risk propensity. As the economical environment is globally unstable such factors as changing the price of oil and geopolitical changes make risk-off a more essential element of the market. Hedge funds are running for cover as the global market default position and the Yen is set to benefit from this flight to safety.

On the other hand, the NZD which is usually considered as the risk currency has not found its feet in this environment. So, as worries about global growth continue to mount, the NZD will continue to struggle to find demand in the current environment.

How US economic data affects NZD/JPY

In addition, the latest economic figure released in the united state has contributed to the oscillations. Due to strict association of monetary policy of the Federal Reserve with the economic conditions, any indicators that point to a deceleration in the growth of US economy will lead to a more accommodative monetary policy. This could reduce global risk sentiment which has supported the Japanese Yen and put more pressure on NZD/JPY.
