NZD to USD 2025 Forecasts

Analysis of recent kiwi → dollar forecasts for 2025. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest New Zealand dollar to US dollar performance and trends.

 

Recent forecasts for the NZD to USD exchange rate indicate that the New Zealand dollar has been under pressure due to a prevailing risk-off sentiment in the market. Analysts highlight that this negative mood diminished demand for the risk-sensitive kiwi. With no significant data releases from New Zealand in the near term, the NZD's performance will likely continue to be influenced by global market dynamics and sentiment.

On the other hand, the US dollar has recently strengthened, propelled by strong U.S. job figures that beat expectations. Non-farm payrolls increased to 147,000, surpassing estimates, while the unemployment rate edged lower, bolstering confidence in the U.S. economy. This positive data supports the dollar's position as a safe-haven currency, with traders drawn to the USD amid global uncertainties.

Market experts note that the potential reintroduction of tariffs under another Trump presidency could adversely affect New Zealand's key trading partners, notably China and Europe. Tighter trade regulations could lead to lower demand for commodities, thereby impacting the NZD's value. Additionally, the NZD often correlates with the AUD due to geographical proximity and shared reliance on commodity exports, suggesting that any movement in the Australian dollar could also affect the New Zealand dollar.

The USD's strength remains closely tied to Federal Reserve policies, particularly interest rate decisions. Higher rates typically attract investment in USD, enhancing its value. Conversely, any dovish stance may lead to diminished demand. The dollar's role as the dominant global currency, backed by its use in international transactions and as a reserve currency, further establishes its influence on forex markets.

Current data shows the NZD/USD rate at 0.6080, which is a notable 2.2% above its three-month average of 0.5947. This reflects a period of considerable volatility, with the exchange rate fluctuating within a range of 10.2%, from 0.5534 to 0.6099. Analysts caution that while some upward movement has occurred, the macroeconomic environment and geopolitical factors will likely dictate the trajectory of the NZD in the coming weeks.
