NZD/USD marked higher after the better than expected jobs report from New Zealand

The data is here:

In summary, New Zealand’s unemployment rate rose to 4.6% in the April to June quarter

  • economists had forecast a 4.7% unemployment rate

And employment increased 0.4% from the prior quarter

  • economists had forecast 0.2% contraction in employment

I posted earlier that there were building expectations of an RBNZ rate cut on August 14. This takes some of the confidence out of that call.
