Investors eye New Zealand Business Confidence
The well-respected NZIER Business Confidence, released each quarter, will be released later on Monday (tentative). The indicator declined by -70% in Q1 of 2020, at the height of the Covid-pandemic which shut down much of the New Zealand economy. Since then, Business Confidence has improved, reaching -6% in Q4. A reading in positive territory in Q1 could raise risk sentiment and boost the currency.
