The kiwi dollar is trading at the lowest point since the start of 2016, buying US64.66c late on Friday.
However, the kiwi may now stay above US64c in the near term after employment and wage data out of the United States was slightly off the boil.
Official data out of
the United States showed that the country's employers hired 134,000 more staff in September than the month before. That was the slowest rate of hiring growth in a year and below Wall Street expectations of 168,000 new jobs.
US wages also rose a slightly slower rate than in August.
The kiwi dollar has fallen around 2.3 per cent this week against the greenback, as currency traders anticipate the US Federal Reserve to continue to hike interest rates.
