The NZ dollar climbed and the U.S. dollar fell in the Asian
session on Monday, as strong Japan and China data suggested a
rebound in the world's second and third largest economies.
The Japanese economy grew more than expected in the third
quarter, as improved exports and consumption helped the country
emerge from the virus crisis.
China retail sales improved from last month, while industrial
output matched expectations, government data showed.
Investors also were encouraged by the news of the ASEAN trade
deal aimed to accelerate the economic recovery from the
coronavirus-induced slowdown.
Asia Pacific nations including China, Japan and South Korea on
Sunday signed the world's largest free-trade agreement.
The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership deal reduces
tariffs, accelerates the service sector and lays down common trade
rules within the bloc.
