AUD/NZD on its knees printing new lows

FXStreet (Guatemala) - AUD/NZD is trading at 1.0635, down -0.08% on the day, having posted a daily high at 1.0665 and low at 1.0633.

AUD/NZD is on its knew with the RBNZ keeping rates on hold but with an accompanying statement that was very hawkish. The pair dropped with the Kiwi taking flight and spiking right across the board.
