Support levels are identified around $0.6714, with resistance up at a high from last December at $0.6871. This positioning reflects market confidence in the Australian economy amidst U.S. monetary policy adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Kiwi-VTMarkets-12July-1024x457.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14153\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Picture: Kiwi sees a decline, trading at 0.60938 on the <a href=\"https:\/\/vtmarketsapp.onelink.me\/CD7D\/240525WA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">VT Markets app<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, the New Zealand dollar wallowed at $0.6087, having shed 0.9% for the week so far. Key support levels are noted at $0.6065 and $0.6018, indicating a bearish trend driven by domestic monetary policy outlooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Market action was significantly influenced by dramatic fluctuations in the Japanese yen, which surged against the U.S. dollar following a softer-than-expected U.S. inflation report. This sparked speculation about potential government intervention, leading to the Aussie dollar pulling back to 107.55 yen after touching a 33-year high of 109.67 overnight.<br><br>You might be interested: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/analysis\/aussie-strengthens-against-the-kiwi-and-yen-amidst-diverging-rate-outlooks\/\">Aussie strengthens against the Kiwi and Yen amidst diverging rate outlooks<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>U.S. inflation data shifts RBA rate hike expectations<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/analysis\/aussie-rallies-on-inflation-surprise-and-rate-hike-speculations\/\">U.S. inflation data also impacted expectations for the Reserve Bank of Australia&#8217;s (RBA)<\/a> policy moves. Futures markets now imply only a 14% chance of an RBA hike at its August meeting, down from 40% just a couple of weeks ago. While markets foresee minimal chances of easing until next July, they are pricing in at least two U.S. rate cuts this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consequently, Australian 10-year bond yields fell to a two-week low of 4.322%, yet the spread over U.S. Treasuries widened to 14 basis points from -40 basis points in April. This movement has driven the Australian dollar&#8217;s trade-weighted index (TWI) to climb for four consecutive weeks, hitting a two-year high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The increase in the TWI might begin to exert downward pressure on the RBA&#8217;s GDP and inflation forecasts over a one-year plus horizon. The upcoming second-quarter consumer price report due on July 31 will be crucial, with inflation expected to edge higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>RBNZ hints at easing, causing sharp drop in swap rates<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Across the Tasman Sea, market dynamics have shifted in the opposite direction.<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/markets\/status\/1811146353768063271\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"> The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) surprised markets by suggesting the possibility of easing monetary policy<\/a>.
