NZDUSD Sinks as Market Sure of RBNZ Cut and Risk Appetite Drops

The New Zealand Dollar - whose position as a major is founded largely on its carry potential - is facing both. Volatility in the FX market may have cooled somewhat, but it is still feeling a lasting buoyancy. Meanwhile, the market is certain that the RBNZ will cut rates next week another 25bps to 3.00%.
