NZ data for January - March 2019.

Detail is interesting ….

  • Export prices +2.6%
  • Import prices -3.5%

And:

  • Export volumes +5.0%
  • Import volumes +1.2%

Dairy prices were indeed higher during Q1 but not feeding through the toT figures yet - expect further ToT improvement in coming quarters.

A positive input for the NZ dollar.

Not that you'd notice, sleepy NZD doing little.
