Analysis of recent aussie → kiwi forecasts for 2026. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest Australian dollar to New Zealand dollar performance and trends.

 

AUD/NZD Outlook:

Likely to increase, as the rate is significantly above its recent average and nearing recent highs.

Key drivers:

  • Rate gap: The Reserve Bank of Australia has raised interest rates recently, which strengthens the AUD compared to the New Zealand dollar, where the Reserve Bank of New Zealand is considering cuts.
  • Risk/commodities: The ongoing strength in commodity prices, particularly in iron ore and coal exports, is enhancing demand for the AUD.
  • One macro factor: Recent data showing a jump in Australia’s inflation has led to heightened expectations of further monetary tightening by the RBA.

Range:

The AUD/NZD is likely to test recent highs, given its strong position above the 3-month average.

What could change it:

  • Upside risk: Stronger-than-expected employment data in Australia could further support AUD values.
  • Downside risk: A significant drop in global commodity prices could weaken the AUD against the NZD.
