Kiwi little changed
The New Zealand dollar is little changed from its open this morning, with most of the market focus on the US dollar and other major currencies.
Bank of New Zealand foreign exchange strategist Raiko Shareef said there was little news to move the New Zealand dollar and so it drifted through the day.
At 5pm on Friday, the kiwi was trading at 78.47 US cents, 88.89 Australian cents, 49.06 British pence, 0.6226 euro, 85.81 yen and 4.79 renminbi.
