We learn from MNI FX Bullets (service to be made available to our Premium Service subscribers later this month) RBNZ will providing incentives to NZ businesses to settle transactions with Chinese businesses in RMB via a reciprocal RMB25 billion currency swap line with the People's Bank of China. The facility would in essence, give the RBNZ the capacity to borrow in RMB during financial market disruptions and low liquidity.

AUSTRALIA: Westpac sees China's Sunday rate rise announcement curbing risk
sentiment initially but believes Aussie's upward momentum remains intact.
If pair breaks below 1.0550, it would warn of deeper move to 1.0450. In
case of New Zealand dollar, a move below 0.7975 would only mean delay to a
rise to the 0.8213 record high, says Westpac. Both currencies opened just
off overnight levels with Aussie at 1.0563 and NZD at 0.7997.

NEW ZEALAND: Inflation rose 0.8% in the March quarter to reach
4.5% for the year, according to the Consumer Price Index released by
Statistics New Zealand today. Consensus forecast was for a quarterly
rise of 1% to take annual CPI inflation to 4.7%. The main contributor to
inflation was transport due to high petrol and diesel prices. Also the
excise tax on tobacco was raised to 9.4 percent.

I think it is high time I made a physical checklist rather than relying on intuition and memory.
Or else I realise that I am just shooting from the hips when actually the market sees me as a sitting duck.
But I am afraid that my list will be so long that I will hardly be entering into any trades.
So I still prefer this baptism by fire than some dummy account trades while learning the ropes.
After a long period of denial I finally witness a hint today from EWI acknowldeging that the precious metals' upward trend wont be waning any time soon. Hooray.
