Norway, NZ central banks lift Nokkie, kiwi $

London

THE Norwegian krone and the New Zealand dollar were the main movers in an otherwise dormant market in major global currencies on Thursday, both getting a lift on talk from the policy meetings of their countries' respective central banks.

With European stock markets down for a third day, investors sought the traditional security of the yen, pushing it around 0.1 per cent higher against both the euro and the US dollar by afternoon in London.
