Technical analysis

The NZD/USD pair remains steady despite Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) Chief Economist Paul Conway reaffirming the bank’s outlook for 75bps of easing over the next year. Conway noted that the weaker New Zealand Dollar (NZD) has supported exports and is expected to aid economic growth recovery by late 2024. Additionally, the country’s trade deficit has narrowed to a three-year low, signaling improving external balances. However, the prospect of further RBNZ rate cuts may limit NZD’s upside, keeping traders cautious amid broader market sentiment.
