Resistance remains firm at the recent 19-month high of $0.6942. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traders seem cautious, with the currency\u2019s movement suggesting that the dollar remains resilient, limiting the Aussie\u2019s upward potential in the short term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Kiwi under pressure as markets price in RBNZ cuts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In contrast, the New Zealand dollar continues to face challenges, slipping 0.3% overnight to $0.6237, a level not seen for six weeks against the Australian dollar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Markets are now fully pricing in a 50-basis-point cut in the <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/markets\/status\/1840933562310148284\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Reserve Bank of New Zealand\u2019s (RBNZ) next meeting on October 9<\/a>, with expectations rising for further cuts at the November and February meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The RBNZ\u2019s more aggressive easing stance, compared to the Reserve Bank of Australia\u2019s (RBA) more measured approach, has kept the kiwi dollar under pressure.<\/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\u2019s central bank will have to weigh signs of slowing inflation against a rebound in business confidence when it decides how much to cut interest rates by next week <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QPkkskvqWz\">https:\/\/t.co\/QPkkskvqWz<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Bloomberg Markets (@markets) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/markets\/status\/1840933562310148284?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 1, 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\">While the RBNZ seems poised to move quickly, the RBA is projected to hold off on any cuts until at least December, with only a 16% chance of a November cut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sticky core inflation is likely to delay any decisions, with markets pricing in a reduction to 3.35% by the end of 2025 from the current 4.35%.
