24-HOUR VIEW: “We expected NZD to trade in a choppy manner between 0.5865 and 0.6015 yesterday. NZD subsequently traded in a narrower range than expected (0.5973/0.6016). Further range trading appears likely, even though the slightly softened underlying tone suggest a lower range of 0.5955/0.5995.”
