The NZD/USD pair plummeted to 0.5892, marking a significant three-month low. The New Zealand dollar remains under pressure as the US dollar gains strength due to the start of the Federal Reserve’s two-day meeting.
The Fed is expected to leave the interest rate in the target range of 5.25-5.50% this time. At the same time, the market eagerly anticipates clear signals regarding the September meeting, when borrowing costs are expected to be lowered.
A week earlier, the NZD fell by almost 2% against the USD due to overly large-scale risk aversion in the global market, reduced carry trade positions with JPY, and China’s relatively sluggish macroeconomic background.
Expectations regarding the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s future steps also exert fundamental pressure on the NZD. The main forecast assumes that the RBNZ will lower the interest rate soon. At the moment, investors take a rate cut at the August meeting with a 44% probability, which is quite a lot, given all the inputs.
