FXStreet (Mumbai) - The NZD/USD pair posed a solid rebound in the European session, snapping three consecutive sessions of declines, despite broad based US dollar strength.

NZD/USD recovers from fresh monthly lows

Currently, the NZD/USD pair trades 0.24% higher at 0.6610, extending its recovery mode from 0.6570 region. The Kiwi trades firmer in Europe, as markets square-off their short-positions after the bird dropped nearly 200 pips this week, ahead of Friday’s highly influential NFP report from the US.

Moreover, stabilizing oil prices after the previous slump also supports the recovery in the resource-linked Kiwi. The US benchmark, WTI, trades 0.30% higher at $ 46.50 while the European benchmark, Brent gains 0.20% to $ 48.75.

Later in the day, markets now await fresh incentives from the US employment data while Fed speeches will be also closely eyed.

NZD/USD Levels to consider

To the upside, the next resistance is located at 0.6673 (Nov 4 High), above which it could extend gains to 0.6700/03 (round number/ Oct 8 High) levels. To the downside immediate support might be located at 0.6581 (Today’s Low) below that 0.6568 (Nov 4 Low).
