EUR to NZD Forecast & Outlook
In the near term, EUR/NZD is trading close to the 90-day average and remains within its recent range. The pair is supported by risk-off sentiment and prevailing risk aversion, keeping the euro relatively steady against the New Zealand dollar. Current conditions suggest the pair may stay consolidating within its recent range, with limited directional bias.
Transfer implications
- Expats: sending money to New Zealand Dollar (NZD): current conditions suggest it may be more favourable than recent levels if the pair stays supported.
- Travellers: buying NZD foreign cash or loading currency cards: rates may remain stable for now, but could face pressure if risk appetite improves.
- Businesses: paying NZD invoices with Euro (EUR): payments may remain supported, though any shift in risk sentiment could dampen this.
Key drivers
- Rate gap: Eurozone GDP revisions and energy prices have pressured economic outlook, supporting the euro’s relative stability.
- Risk/commodities: NZD remains vulnerable to risk aversion impacting market sentiment, supported by broader risk-off flows.
- Global factors: risk sentiment dominates, with safe-haven flows supporting the euro and pressuring the kiwi.
What could change it
- Upside risk: improving risk appetite could weaken the euro, making EUR/NZD less favourable.
- Downside risk: further risk aversion or energy price rises could reinforce safe-haven flows, maintaining the pair's sideways trend.
