This movement followed the Reserve Bank of New Zealand&#8217;s (RBNZ) decision to hold rates steady, expressing confidence that inflation would return to its target band in the second half of the year. This confidence spurred bets on early policy easing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Aussie dollar surged 0.5% against the kiwi to hit NZ$1.1065 for the first time since February 2023. Australia&#8217;s dollar (AUDUSD) eased slightly by 0.1% to $0.67345, but remained close to Monday&#8217;s six-month peak of $0.67615.<br><br>You might be interested: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/analysis\/aussie-approaches-six-month-high-despite-diverging-rate-expectations\/\">Aussie approaches six-month high despite diverging rate expectations<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For New Zealand, the central bank&#8217;s confidence in inflation control and potential for rate cuts could lead to a weaker kiwi in the near term. This could benefit exporters by making their goods cheaper on the international market, but may also signal economic challenges ahead if the rate cuts are a response to slower growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Start trading now \u2014 click <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/trade-now\/?utm_campaign=account_c&amp;utm_source=dma&amp;utm_medium=website\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a><strong> to create your live VT Markets account.<\/strong><\/p>\n\r\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Start trading now \u2014 click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/trade-now\/\">here<\/a> to create your real VT Markets account.<\/b>\n\n<\/p>\n\n<!-- vt-src:14119 -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key points: Dollar firms on Powell&#8217;s caution See: Dollar index trading at 104.768 as seen on the VT Markets app. Powell highlighted a cooling job market, indicating that the Fed faces &#8220;two-sided risks&#8221; and cannot focus solely on inflation.
