NZD/USD historic rates & change to 30-Dec-2025

Current market bias: Bearish. Key drivers: - Interest rate differential is shifting as the Fed signals three potential rate cuts by mid-2026, likely weakening the USD. - US inflation has dropped significantly, boosting speculation for more monetary easing. - The NZD faces challenges despite strong GDP growth as investors await trade figures. Near-term range: The USD to NZD exchange rate is expected to remain stable, consistent with recent trading patterns and currently sits slightly below its three-month average. What could change it: An unexpected rise in consumer sentiment could strengthen the USD, while a further deterioration in global growth could increase selling pressure on the dollar and negatively impact the NZD. --- USD to NZD outlook is bearish as the Fed may cut rates three times by mid-2026. US inflation is down to 2.7%, raising easing expectations. Meanwhile, NZD struggles with awaiting trade figures despite strong GDP growth. Cautious trading ahead
