NZD to USD 2026 Forecasts

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

 

The market bias for the NZD to USD exchange rate is currently bearish.

Key drivers include:

  • The Reserve Bank of New Zealand is expected to cut interest rates in response to a negative output gap, which could weaken the NZD.
  • The Federal Reserve is likely to implement rate cuts, contributing to a weaker USD in the near term.
  • Economic growth indicators suggest a slowing US economy, which may further support the NZD's potential for recovery.

In the near term, the NZD/USD is expected to trade within a stable range, reflecting recent lows around current levels.

Upside risks include a rebound in global economic conditions that may improve sentiment towards the NZD. A downside risk could arise from deeper-than-expected rate cuts by both central banks, sustaining pressure on the NZD.
