NZD/USD rises to 0.5980 as Fed rate pause bets weaken US dollar
The New Zealand Dollar (NZD) has strengthened against the US Dollar (USD), reaching a multi-month high near 0.5980. This movement is driven by expectations of a Federal Reserve rate pause, which has weakened the USD, and a hawkish outlook from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ).
Key points
- Bank of America recommends buying NZD/USD, citing expectations of two RBNZ rate hikes in Q4 2026.
- NZD/USD reaches 0.5980, its highest level since early June, amid weakening USD due to Fed rate pause expectations.
- US Treasury yield easing and buyback operations reduce the USD's carry advantage, influencing NZD/USD movements.
