New Zealand Economy: As the Kiwis head into Spring, we could expect growth in agricultur and retail sales. Monday night’s PMI is the first all-important economic event of the month for New Zealand and it is highly anticipated. Consumer Price Index is expected to have lowered from Q2, from 0.4% to 0.1%. Since the expectations are already quiet low, a worse than expected outcome could weigh on Mr. Kiwi.
