Kiwi found support from the strength of its neighbour yesterday, and as global equities rallied strongly

The pound lost a further one and a half cents to the kiwi following negative UK data, and as the aussie rate hike put the focus on the next RBNZ rate decision. Fears that Britain’s fragile economic recovery is faltering were sparked after official figures revealed a surprise fall in industrial output in August. The data showed a 1.9% drop in manufacturing output month on month, a full 2.5% below the market prediction, encouraging further pound selling. The kiwi also benefited indirectly from the 25 basis point rate rise in Australia, which supported demand for higher-yielding currencies.

The pound reverted back to its downward trend against the kiwi in trading yesterday, losing 0.8% to close the day near last week’s lows at 2.2163. A strong jump in a New Zealand business confidence survey added to evidence that the economic recovery is gaining pace, supporting demand for the kiwi. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand published a bright economic outlook yesterday, which was also picked up on by investors with expectations for a rate rise strengthening. Additionally, in the US, the second quarter GDP figure was revised upward revealing that the economy had contracted by less than initially expected, which supported a move into riskier assets, although weak employment data did offset this trend slightly.
