10:15 AM (NZT) This pairing has been relatively stable this week. The resurgence of risk appetite has seen the NZD make up a little ground, but the pair remains in very familiar territory. Expect initial resistance at .4950 (GBPNZD support 2.0200) and this will likely hold ahead of the Christmas break. There is little economic data ahead of January to moves the rates too far, so expect that we start 2012 around similar levels. The rumours remain that credit agencies remain poised to downgrade further European sovereign entities, and this would be NZD negative if this eventuates.
