Fundamental view

Chinese trade data

The kiwi dollar received support, following the release of Chinese trade data earlier in the day. China’s exports climbed at an annualized rate of 15.3% in September, or the fastest pace since February 2013, and also outstripped the median forecast by experts for an 11.8% gain. Total imports rose at a pace of 7% in September compared to the same month a year ago, beating expectations pointing to a 2.7% increase. Imports of iron ore registered the second highest level this year, while monthly crude oil imports expanded to their second highest level on record. At the same time, nation’s balance of trade produced a surplus at the amount of 31.00 billion USD in September, or below expectations of a surplus figure of 41.10 billion USD. This data usually has a certain impact on the New Zealand dollar, as China is New Zealand’s largest trading partner.

Yen bets

Hedge funds and other institutional speculators pared their bearish bets on the Japanese yen for the first time in three weeks, Bloomberg reported. Net short positions were reduced to 112 551 on October 7th from an eight-month high of 120 878 in the preceding week, according to data by the Washington-based Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
