New Zealand Dollar Hits Record High on Accounts

The kiwi, how often the New Zealand currency is referred to, touched an eleven-month high versus the greenback and gained versus most of the 16 main traded currencies as international and domestic factors raised attractiveness for the high-yield profile of the South Pacific currency.

Canadian Dollar Declines Further on Commodities
