5:50 PM (NZT) The NZ dollar has continued to appreciate over the pound sterling this week, albeit at a slower pace than recently seen. It is near solid resistance levels for the NZD, and its inability so far to push through the .5300 (1.8870) level should be noted. Further quantitative easing from the BOE must be factored in at current levels, and therefore further gains in the NZ dollars favour will be harder fought from here. The focus next week is on the labour market in NZ, and the BOE in the UK. Current levels represent good value buying of GBP with NZ dollars.
