The Business Confidence fell further (more negative):

-42.4% vs -31.8% (previous survey)

Firms’ Own Activity Outlook for July fell further (more negative):

-17.0% vs -8.9% (previous survey)

These are the preliminary numbers - final numbers will be released towards the end of August.
 

  • Adds to the evidence that the post-lockdown rebound may have run its course.
  • Employment and investment intentions fell as the post-lockdown bounce starts to give way to the drag from the closed border

Current indicative levels are:

NZDUSD 0.6590 / 0.6615
