WELLINGTON: The New Zealand dollar rallied 1.47 percent to be quoted at $0.7293 in early Asia-Pacific trading on Thursday.
The Kiwi rose overnight from around $0.7181 the previous day, to a one-month high, as US dollar weakness and strong local economic data boosted the currency.
"Despite the risk-off mood the NZD has been the best performer," said BNZ currency strategist Jason Wong in a research note, adding recovering global dairy prices and strong New Zealand employment data had helped buoy the currency.
