Contest Widely Helds and Actives:

Contestants lost the most in USD/CHF, GBP/CHF and NZD/USD pairs
New Zealand Retail Sales are due out on Sunday, and they are expected to decline in May; only a very strong retail sales report could shift the Reserve Bank of New Zealand towards a rate cut this year. This report could have a bearish impact on the New Zealand dollar.
