See article below - Australia to pay of all their debt today. That economy just keeps chugging along... http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/story.cfm?c_id=3&ObjectID=10378270

The NZD will be tracking lower as the move into JPY occurs. buys on the yen will come from sells on the NZD/JPY carry. The question is how low will this go? I'm hoping for a retest of the 60 mark.
I think you are on a fair bet there. Hit its head on the 50 DMA. Seems to be reasonable support at 60 cents though.
Absolutely. But if it goes down there within reach, expect a reach for the 60 level. Historically, the 60 level is still rather high.
Sure......if it breaks 60 cents then all bets are off and you are looking at 57-58 cents. Down at these levels inflation is going to hog the spotlight again, but it may hit the point where Bollard can do nothing but sit on his hands and keep quiet. At this level, if he raises rates to keep inflation down he will push business and the economy into a very tight corner and then recession is back on the table. I think he will complain about overspending by Joe public, bemoan the risk of more inflation, but eventually sit on his hands and hope the market reaches a balance somewhere along the way....
