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.

 

The NZD to AUD exchange rate is currently bearish.

Key drivers include:

  • Interest rate expectations, with the Reserve Bank of Australia likely to raise rates, while the Reserve Bank of New Zealand is expected to make rate cuts.
  • Positive economic forecasts for Australia, strengthening the AUD against the NZD.
  • New Zealand’s GDP figures have not notably impacted currency strength, indicating a lack of market confidence in the NZD’s stability.

Near-term, the exchange rate may trade within a stable range, reflecting recent performance near 90-day lows. Fluctuations are likely to remain contained within a modest spectrum, having previously ranged from 0.8615 to 0.8849.

Upside risks could stem from a surprise increase in New Zealand export figures, while downside risks may arise from further hawkish moves by the Reserve Bank of Australia, solidifying the AUD’s upward trajectory.
