Australian CPI beat expectations by a long mile yesterday, as did inflation for New Zealand in their most recent report. But the key difference between Australia and New Zealand for currency traders to be aware of is their central banks. The RBNZ have been far more aggressive than the RBA - with the latter dropping to 25bp rate increases and their rate remaining relatively low compared with their peers. And whilst the Aussie and Kiwi benefitted from a weaker dollar yesterday and AUD was given a 'bump' following Australia's inflation report, the fact remains that the RBA are not as hawkish as the RBNZ.

We’ve seen the desired pullback into a resistance cluster (lower trendline, 20/50 EMA and 1.1191 low) and a bearish pinbar has formed to suggest a swing high is in place. The RSI(2) reached overbought on Tuesday before turning lower yesterday, which backs up the bias of a potential swing high. The 200-day EMA / support zone just below 1.10 is now in focus for bears - and AUD/NZD is likely to be a tempting swing trade short whilst prices remain beneath yesterday's high.

This worked out really well and has continued lower. However, bearish momentum is waning and we're currently within our 4th consecutive bearish week - so it may be time to tighten stops and be on guard for a retracement higher.
