NZD/USD rises to 0.5705 as weaker US jobs data dampens Fed rate hike expectations
In the past 24 hours, the New Zealand Dollar (NZD) strengthened against the US Dollar (USD), with the NZD/USD pair trading at 0.5705. This movement was driven by a weaker-than-expected US employment report, which reduced market expectations for a near-term Federal Reserve rate hike. The US economy added only 57,000 jobs in June, significantly below the anticipated 110,000, leading to a decline in the USD and a rise in the NZD.
Key points
- NZD/USD rises 0.59% to 0.5705 following weaker US employment data.
- US Nonfarm Payrolls increase by just 57,000 in June, missing expectations.
- Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh provides a less hawkish tone, avoiding explicit guidance on upcoming policy decisions.
