NZD/JPY flirts with 90.00 handle
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The NZD/JPY pair fell sharply after the Bank of Japan (BOJ) held its QQE program unchanged, while reducing the inflation forecasts for next fiscal year.
The pair now trades 0.73% lower at 90.10 levels, compared to the previous session’s close at 90.75 levels. The pair hit a low of 89.81, before settling higher around 90.00 levels. The Japanese Yen gained strength after the Bank of Japan refrained from expanding its annual monetary base target. Furthermore, the bank cut its core consumer inflation forecast for the year beginning in April to 1.0% from 1.7%. Meanwhile, the Kiwi has not been able to do much against the USD today, trading largely unchanged for the day at 0.7648 levels.

The immediate support is seen at 89.81 (100-DMA), under which the pair could test 89.66 (July 10 high) levels. Meanwhile, resistance is seen at 90.29 and 90.52 levels.
