EURNZD Euro vs New Zealand Dollar

The Commodity currencies such as Australia, the New Zealand and the Canadian dollars weakened against their major currencies in the Asian session on Monday, after data showed that the Chinese industrial profits slid in September.

Sunday, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed that the industrial profits at large Chinese companies dropped 27.1 percent from a year earlier in September, accelerating from a 17.8 percent slump for the previous month. Profits fell 3.5 percent in the first nine months from the same period last year.

The third quarter saw China's GDP grow at its slowest rate since early 2023, and while Beijing scrambles to boost growth, the crisis-hit real estate market is not showing many signs of stabilizing.

Increased deflationary pressures, slower export growth, and muted loan demand were all noted in recent data, which raised concerns about the economic recovery and reinforced the argument for fiscal stimulus to spur development.
