However, there were concerns that the progress was not sufficient to justify immediate rate cuts.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/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\">Fed cautious on rates despite inflation improvement: analyst  <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/NASDAQ?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NASDAQ<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/FRHC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FRHC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xagR973S4g\">https:\/\/t.co\/xagR973S4g<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Proactive USA (@proactive_NA) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/proactive_NA\/status\/1801612238995784002?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 14, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some policymakers emphasised the importance of patience, suggesting that the Fed should wait for more definitive signs of sustained inflation reduction before considering lowering borrowing costs. Conversely, several officials indicated that additional rate hikes might be necessary if inflationary pressures were to rebound.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Related article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/blog\/education\/interest-rate-tug-of-war-for-central-banks-hawkish-vs-dovish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Interest rate tug-of-war for central banks: Hawkish vs dovish<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such soft US data has provided support for the NZD, boosting its value against the USD.

It is widely expected that the RBNZ will maintain its official cash rate at 5.5% for the eighth consecutive time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The consistent stance from the RBNZ highlights its commitment to managing inflation and supporting economic stability.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Risks and opportunities for NZDUSD<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking ahead, the movement of the NZDUSD currency pair will be closely tied to further economic data releases and central bank communications.
