The NZD/USD pair aims to climb above the psychological resistance of 0.6000.

S&P500 futures have generated decent gains in the European session, portraying further improvement in the risk-taking ability of the market participants. US equities rose significantly on Friday after the Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report portrayed soft labor demand and steady wage growth. Fresh payrolls were 150K in October against expectations of 180K and the former reading of 297K. The Unemployment Rate rose to 3.9% against expectations of 3.8%.

Investors hope that soft labor demand will allow the Fed to keep interest rates unchanged in the range of 5.25-5.50%. Slower monthly wage growth by 0.2% also warranted that current rates by the Fed are sufficiently restrictive.
