Trading Discussion

NZD housing is growing, economy is improving, I want to buy the NZD, now how do I know which NZD currency pair to go along with?

How do I know which is BEST, USD/NZD, NZD/JPY, AUD/NZD? or Others?

Does the opposing currency have to have opposite fundamental analysis?

(this is not a real situation, it is for educational purposes, thank you!)

Hi youngwallstreet

Whenever we want to buy pairs, we always want to know if NZD pairs performing good or not and how about the counterparts, would be best if counterpart currency the weakest of all currencies, example for several years was AUD/JPY strong AUD and weak JPY, you can use fundamental analysis or technical analysis to determine which one is the best.

example NZD/USD. From your analysis NZD currently the one you want to buy,
If you follow the news about American dollar, you will know Bernanke remark last week where he said there was no preset for the fed bond purchase program. This remark send dollar down.
For Long term investors expecting the fed stop their bond purchase program which might lead to stronger dollar.

You can learn about analysis in babypips, there are many resources and the school section is good place to learn too.
Hope this post can help

You need to know technical analysis as well. Otherwise this is not complete.

USD and JPY fundamentals are looking bullish. AUD is becoming bearish with the RBA poised to reduce interest rates, Australia’s major export partner China reducing demand, falling commodity prices etc. If I was playing the NZD, AUDNZD would be looking attractive. Or perhaps EURNZD, which has the bonus of the carry trade. I’m personally pessimistic on the euro zone fixing itself. This is purely based on fundamentals. Perform your own due diligence.
