USD to NZD 2025 Forecasts

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

 

Recent forecasts indicate a mixed outlook for the USD to NZD exchange rate, as both currencies navigate evolving market sentiment and economic conditions. The US dollar (USD) has recently strengthened, supported by safe-haven flows and a shift in Federal Reserve interest rate cut expectations. Analysts highlight that optimism surrounding potential new trade deals, as suggested by members of the Trump administration, could further bolster the USD. However, if these trade agreements fall short of investor expectations, the USD may face downward pressure.

Conversely, the New Zealand dollar (NZD) has struggled in a risk-off environment, showing vulnerability due to declining investor appetite. The NZD has been impacted by a cautious market stance ahead of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's (RBNZ) interest rate decision, with traders hesitant to make significant moves. The ongoing geopolitical situation, particularly the possibility of renewed tariffs under a Trump presidency targeting key trading partners like Europe and China, adds another layer of uncertainty for the NZD, potentially dampening demand for New Zealand's commodities.

From a pricing perspective, the current USD to NZD exchange rate stands at 1.6637, which is only 0.8% below its three-month average of 1.6767. This reflects a notable volatility in the market, with the exchange rate fluctuating within a significant 10.2% range of 1.6396 to 1.8068 over recent months. Economists observe that the interplay between the USD's strength and the NZD's weakness is influenced not only by domestic economic indicators but also by broader global trends, including the correlation with the Australian dollar (AUD) due to their shared reliance on commodity markets.

Going forward, market participants will be closely watching the Federal Reserve’s policy decisions, inflation data, and geopolitical developments, as these factors will play a crucial role in determining the future trajectory of the USD to NZD exchange rate.
