NZ Dollar Fights to Bounce amid Adverse Fundamentals

The New Zealand dollar rose a little today, but gains were limited as fundamentals were not particularly positive to the currency, which has been in decline since the beginning of the year. Domestic data was relatively positive as New Zealand building consents rose 1.8 percent in November. It was news from overseas, China specifically, that was troubling.
