Prices and Charts
NZD Gold at new high for 2018
NZD gold price is up sharply this week, simply due to the much weaker NZ dollar. More on that soon.
NZD gold reached the highest price for 2018 this week. Close to breaking above $1875 and also not far from the $1900 horizontal resistance. The key level then is the $1950 high from 2016.
Silver in NZ Dollars flew higher earlier this week on what looked like a short covering rally in the futures market. As a result silver in both USD or NZD got very close to breaking out of the multi-year wedge formation. But it has since pulled back. This formation is getting narrower and narrower and can not continue for too much longer.
This wedge is like a giant coiled spring. So when silver breaks out of it history suggests it will be a very large move.
Kiwi Dollar Plunging
But the biggest move this week was in the NZ Dollar. It tumbled almost 4%! Quite a decline in a week.
At first glance this would seem to be just the Kiwi reacting to US dollar strength and commodity weakness in general. And falling against the USD like other currencies this week.
However the Kiwi has also been falling against other commodity currencies like the Aussie and Canadian dollars.
What Has Pushed the NZ Dollar Lower?
Who could know for sure? But a good bet may be the news in this Zerohedge article this week (hat tip to A.E. Thanks).
IMF Blasts New Zealand’s “Discriminatory” Ban On Home Sales To Foreigners
The Labour government policy on foreign home buyers is looking to be even harsher than first thought and the IMF didn’t think it necessary. Foreigners will only be able to buy new builds and off the plans if they re-sell within a year.
So this news may have been a factor in the lower dollar.
This reminds us of a podcast from Peter Schiff last October after the change in government here. Schiff is actually very knowledgeable on New Zealand politics and history. Far more than many New Zealanders would be.
He outlined why he thought the new Labour government may be harmful in the long run.
