2025.08.2202:33:25UTC+00New Zealand Dollar Stuck at Over 4-Month Low

The New Zealand dollar steadied around $0.581 on Friday, maintaining its position near the lowest point since April 11, due to anticipated further interest rate reductions by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ). This shift in rate expectations came after the RBNZ lowered its official cash rate by 25 basis points to 3.0% — the lowest in three years — and indicated that additional cuts could be forthcoming to boost an underperforming economy. Most market analysts and economists are now forecasting at least two more rate cuts by the end of the year, with the possibility of more significant reductions if economic growth falls short of central bank targets. Globally, investor focus is turning to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s upcoming address at the Jackson Hole symposium, looking for clues regarding potential US rate cuts this year. Over the week, the New Zealand dollar has depreciated by 1.7%, marking a second straight week of decline.
