NZD to AUD 2026 Forecasts

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

 

NZD/AUD Outlook: Slightly positive, but likely to move sideways, as the rate is above its recent average but lacks a strong driver for a significant shift.

Key drivers:

  • Rate gap: The Reserve Bank of New Zealand is expected to adopt a hawkish stance due to rising inflation, suggesting potential interest rate hikes, while the Reserve Bank of Australia remains cautious.
  • Risk/commodities: Rising commodity prices are helping to support the Australian dollar, but recent declines in iron ore may limit its strength.
  • One macro factor: New Zealand's business confidence has surged, indicating economic growth that could bolster the NZD further.

Range: The NZD/AUD is likely to hold steady within its recent range, occasionally drifting towards the upper or lower limits.

What could change it:

  • Upside risk: A surprise interest rate hike from the RBNZ could strengthen the NZD significantly.
  • Downside risk: Weaker commodity prices affecting the Australian economy might pressure the AUD down, leading to a potential NZD appreciation.
