NZD/USD rises to 0.5980 amid weak US Dollar and RBNZ rate hike expectations.
The New Zealand Dollar (NZD) strengthened against the US Dollar (USD), reaching 0.5980, its highest level since June 1. This movement was driven by a weaker USD, influenced by the US Treasury's plan to expand its buyback of longer-dated bonds, and expectations that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) may raise rates as soon as September.
