NZD/USD reverses trend and gains momentum above 0.5920 mark following upbeat China data. China retail sales (August) increased 4.6% from 2.5% previously; Industrial production improved to 4.5% from 3.7% previously. Upbeat US data on Thursday showed the US economy remained resilient and inflation rebounded in August. In response to the data, China proxy New Zealand (NZD) attracted some buyers and acted as a tailwind for the NZD/USD pair.
Looking at the technical picture of NZD/USD on the 4-hour chart, we can see that the pair is still in an uptrend. That means we will follow that trend and aim higher if that happens to potentially reach $0.5960.
