Bias: Bearish-to-range-bound, with USD/NZD trading below its 90-day average and in the lower half of the three-month range, implying limited downside but...
Bias
USD/NZD bear-to-range, below the 90-d avg and in the lower half of the 3-mo range. Downside limited; a mild bounce possible if payrolls or NZ data surprise. Watch risk mood and Fed timing for clues on the range mid.
Key drivers
- Rate gap: The Fed is seen moving toward rate cuts in 2026 while the RBNZ has already eased, narrowing the USD-NZD gap and helping NZD hold ground.
- Risk/commodities: A cautious mood has weighed on risk-sensitive currencies, but a pickup in risk appetite could lift NZD and curb further USD/NZD losses.
- One macro factor: U.S. payrolls and unemployment data will shape Fed easing expectations and thus USD strength versus NZD.
Range
The pair is likely to drift within the recent three-month range, testing the lower end if risk appetite remains soft, though a shift in data could push it toward the middle.
What could change it
- Upside risk: stronger US payrolls or a clearer signal that rates stay higher for longer could push USD/NZD toward the upper end of its range.
- Downside risk: stronger NZ data or an improvement in global risk appetite could lift NZD and push USD/NZD lower
