The Kiwi jumped as much as 0.5% intraday, brushing against short-term resistance levels around 0.5948, with upside momentum underpinned by fundamental and technical drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest trade data delivered a sharp upside surprise. New Zealand posted a monthly surplus of NZ$1.43 billion\u2014its strongest April result in years\u2014reversing a NZ$0.01 billion deficit in the same period last year. Exports surged 25% year-on-year, led by agricultural and forestry shipments, while imports rose only 1.8%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New Zealand Finance Minister Nicola Willis will keep a tight rein on spending in this week\u2019s budget as uncertainty about global growth holds back a domestic recovery and restrains government revenue <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CDJJB33bwo\">https:\/\/t.co\/CDJJB33bwo<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Bloomberg (@business) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/business\/status\/1924876304047858163?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 20, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This trade turnaround has prompted some traders to revisit their Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) rate expectations.
