The New Zealand dollar fell against the euro and the pound as political concerns ebbed in Spain and the UK and figures showed stronger-than-expected German production.
The kiwi traded at 60.14 euro cents as at 8am in Wellington from 60.27 cents late yesterday. It fell to 53.74 British pence from 54.05 pence and was little changed at 70.70 US cents from 70.75 cents.

The euro gained after figures showed German industrial production rose 2.6 per cent in August, more than twice expectations of a 0.9 per cent gain, while in Spain's Catalonia, pro-unity marchers showed not everyone in the region wants to split. Also helping the euro were comments from European Central Bank board member Sabine Lautenschlaeger that the bank should reduce its asset purchases next year. The pound rose as expectations faded that Prime Minister Theresa May would be toppled.
