Gains in NZD/USD halted after card spending data

FXStreet (Mumbai) - The Kiwi trades higher against the Greenback today, although gains have been halted after the data in New Zealand showed a drop in Credit card spending.

The NZD/USD pair currently trades 0.26% higher at 0.7782 levels. The pair has consolidated around the current levels in the last hour after the official data in New Zeland showed credit card spending increased 0.3% month-on-month in November, down from an upwardly revised print of 1.5% in October. Earlier today, the Business Confidence index also printed lower at 30.4 in December, from 31.5 in November.
