Currency News, Research and Forecasts for Australian Dollar and New Zealand Dollar
Whenever you are interested in an exchange rate you are actually interested in two currencies due to the fact that the value of a currency must always be quoted in comparison to a second currency.
So it follows that if you are determining the best time to transact, in this case the AUD vs NZD, you should pay attention to both Australian Dollar and New Zealand Dollar news and forecasts.
Australian Dollar (AUD) - Market news and forecasts
November-26: In the weeks leading up to this report, the Australian dollar was among the best performing global currencies. A broader 2018 view will, though, show a currency that is struggling. The good news is that the Aussie’s prospects for 2019 remain good.
Important for AUD in November was the break of an important technical trendline that demarcated the 2018 downtrend. Between January and late October, the currency lost nearly 14 percent against the US dollar to trade at a 2-1/2-year low of $0.702. It had recovered by the time of this report into the $0.72s. Similar could be said of AUD’s performance against the euro.
Easing trade tensions between the US and China was another big positive for AUD in November.
Inaction on interest rates from the RBA has lended itself to lower AUD exchange rates but this will change next year. The inevitability of higher Australian interest rates will become the narrative in mid-2019, thinks Citibank, and this will drive capital into AUD and force its price up to $0.77. CIBC expressed a similar view in November, albeit with a slightly lower mid-19 forecast of $0.76.
New Zealand Dollar (NZD) - Market news and forecasts
In the weeks leading up to this report (15-Nov-18), the New Zealand dollar was among the best performing global currencies, helped by easing trade tensions between the US and China.
At 68.4 US cents, it remained down 8 percent on 2018 highs. The kiwi struck a 2-1/2-year low in October of just 64.25 cents. After falling to 55.77 euro cents, NZD recovered by the time of this report to buy 60 euro cents — a 10-month high.
Inaction on interest rates from the RBNZ has lended itself to lower NZD exchange rates throughout 2018 but this will likely change in the coming year. The inevitability of higher New Zealand interest rates should become a central narrative in mid-2019. Higher interest rates would add strong support to the kiwi, certainly relative to the currencies of the US, which has already normalized policy a great deal, and of Europe and the UK — these being areas that are likely to see lower interest rates for longer due to uncertainties surrounding Brexit.
