NZD/USD searching for 0.7050 in the early session

  • Kiwi rebounds against a receding Dollar, but the hole is still deep.

The NZD/USD managed a bounce and is trading near 0.7040 after the Kiwi managed to stage a correction against the Greenback, which has been hammering the NZD since mid-April.

Further adding to the Dollar's walkback in Thursday's action was the US trade balance, which shifted more than expected and came in at minus $49.0 Billion versus $50.0 billion forecast in March while the US initial jobless claims, in the week ending April 27, came in above expectation at 211K against 225K expected by analysts.
