NZD/USD  Fundamental Analysis  February  8, 2012, Forecast

NZD/USD Fundamental Analysis February 8, 2012, Forecast

Economic Events: (GMT)

21:45 NZD Employment Change (QoQ) 0.4% 0.2%

21:45 NZD Unemployment Rate 6.5% 6.6%

The Unemployment Rate measures the percentage of the total work force that is unemployed and actively seeking employment during the previous quarter. This is reported with the employment change data.

A higher than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the NZD, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the NZD.

Analysis and Recommendation: (Close of the Asian session )

NZD/USDis trading at 0.8359. The dollar strenght continued today as worried about Greece continue to mount. There is virtually no time left to continue negotiations. March 20th is dooms day for Greece and it will take several weeks for the legalities and the paperwork to be completed. The deal was supposed to have been completed by the deadline two weeks ago.

It seems that it is going to be almost impossible to save Greece from default at this time. The EU, the ECB and the IMF are not in the mood to offer any additional assistance.
