Anyone noticed the surge in demand on the exhange
market for the NZ dollar recently?. From what I can gather from Newspaper
reports there was a large buyer which temporarily made the NZ shoot up one cent
against the greenback. Now I get this feeling of Deja Vu with the Fletcher
Paper deal in that the week before that was announced there was also a major
mystery buyer of the NZ dollar which turned out to be the Norwegians buying NZ
dollars for the purchase of paper.
This leads me to guess that the major buyer may in
fact be needing those kiwi roubles (as Ril so eloquently describes them) to fund
the purchase of forests. Perhaps the major institutional buying recently
is these institutions reading the signs and trying to get in to make a
substantial gain like with FFP.
Anyway just a thought, wondering if 1+1 does in
fact = 2, but it seems to rarely happen on the NZ stockmarket
Regards
J.
