The dollar rose sharply against the euro after the publication of data on Germany, but was unable to hold his position, and returned to their previous values, since the interest in this event went down.

As the results of studies that have been presented by the German Institute of Ifo, this month the level of confidence in the German business confidence rose again, registering with the third monthly increase in a row.

The pound dropped significantly against the dollar, which has been associated with the release of the report by Britain's GDP. The preliminary data that has been submitted by the Office for National Statistics, at the end of the second quarter of the UK economy grew by confirming with the forecasts of experts, which has helped to support manufacturing, construction and services sectors.

In addition, the data showed that the volume of construction rose by 0.9%, recovering from a fall of 1.8% in the first quarter, when production was at its lowest level since early 2001.

The cost of the New Zealand Dollar was higher against the U.S. dollar, which impacted on the decision by the RBNZ rates, and managing comments.

Chapter RBNZ Wheeler said the global outlook remains controversial, the eurozone remains in recession and shows signs of slowing growth in China and Australia, but a more recent positive economic data from the U.S. and Japan. In the global debt markets have become more cautious because of the expected release of the U.S. Federal Reserve and the policy of "quantitative easing."

In addition, managing the RBNZ said that economic growth in New Zealand rose, and although it varies, becomes more widespread across industries. Consumption is growing and reconstruction Kantenberi will be supported by a broad increase in activity in the construction industry, particularly in Auckland. This will support the overall activity and ultimately will reduce housing shortages.

Despite the fact that since May 2013 the foreign trade-weighted New Zealand dollar has declined, it remains high and will continue to be an obstacle for the tradable sectors, reducing export revenues and increasing demand for imports. Fiscal consolidation will reduce aggregate demand in the planned term.

Meanwhile, Managing RBNZ said that although the cessation of monetary stimulus is likely to be necessary in the future, we expect that the interest rate will remain unchanged until the end of the year.
