Investing.com - The New Zealand dollar was almost unchanged against its U.S. counterpart on Monday, as investors remained cautious ahead of a meeting of euro zone finance ministers later in the day.
NZD/USD hit 0.8334 during late Asian trade, the pair's lowest since January 7; the pair subsequently consolidated at 0.8361, dipping 0.01%.
The pair was likely to find support at 0.8319, the low of December 20 and resistance at 0.8392, the high of January 13.
Markets were jittery as the euro group of euro zone finance ministers was to hold talks to discuss how the euro zone’s permanent bailout fund, the European Stability Mechanism can provide direct aid to banks.
On Friday Jean-Claude Juncker, the outgoing chairman of the eurogroup endorsed Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem as a "good" candidate to take over his job.
The appointment will be closely watched as the head of the eurogroup plays a vital role forming a policy response to the debt crisis.
Elsewhere, the kiwi was fractionally lower against the Australian dollar with AUD/NZD inching up 0.07%, to hit 1.2577.
Trade was expected to remain subdued on Monday, with U.S. markets closed for a holiday.
