Investing.com - The New Zealand dollar rose against its U.S. counterpart on Tuesday, as news of a deal on a new debt target for Greece supported demand for risk-related assets.
NZD/USD hit 0.8238 during European morning trade, the daily high; the pair subsequently consolidated at 0.8231, rising 0.15%.
The pair was likely to find support at 0.8204, the low of October 28 and resistance at 0.8266, the high of November 5.
Sentiment improved after European finance ministers on Monday said they were easing the terms on emergency aid for Greece, declaring after three years of false starts that Europe has found the formula for nursing the debt-stricken country back to health.
The ministers cut the rates on bailout loans, suspended interest payments for a decade, gave Greece more time to repay and engineered a Greek bond buyback. The country was also cleared to receive a EUR34.4 billion loan installment in December.
In New Zealand, official data earlier showed that inflation expectations remained unchanged at 2.3% in the third quarter.
Elsewhere, the kiwi was amost unchanged against the euro with EUR/NZD inching up 0.02%, to hit 1.5786.
Later in the day, the U.S. was to release official data on durable goods orders, as well as industry data on house price inflation.
In addition, the Conference Board was to publish data on U.S. consumer confidence, while Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke was to deliver brief remarks at the National College Fed Challenge Finals, in Washington D.C.
