Investing.com - The New Zealand dollar slipped against its U.S. counterpart on Monday, as sustained euro zone worries weighed on market sentiment, while investors awaited the release of U.S. economic data later in the day.
NZD/USD hit 0.8198 during European morning trade, the daily low; the pair subsequently consolidated at 0.8207, shedding 0.25%.
The pair was likely to find support at 0.8170, the low of October 26 and resistance at 0.8243, the high of October 25.
Markets were jittery amid ongoing uncertainty over whether Spain is preparing to request a bailout from its euro zone partners, which would activate a bond buying program by the European Central Bank.
Meanwhile, doubts over whether Greece can meet austerity targets demanded by the troika mounted after the country’s opposition leaders said his party would vote against an austerity package expected to go before parliament later this week.
Trading activity was expected to remain thin on Monday, as a result of the first unscheduled, market-wide shut down since September 2001as Hurricane Sandy approached the northeastern U.S.
The kiwi was almost unchanged against the Australian dollar with AUD/NZD easing up 0.01%, to hit 1.2609.
Later in the day, the U.S. was to release government data on personal income, personal spending and core consumer inflation.
