NZD/USD reaction
NZD/USD is off the highs but holds sizeable gains on the RBNZ response. The spot was last seen trading at 0.6970, up 0.74% on the day.
The kiwi jumped 50-pips and hit the highest levels in over two years at 0.6983, as the RBNZ remit change is seen to have pushed back further easing expectations.
