29.04.202603:09:52UTC+00New Zealand Dollar Drops for 2nd Day

The New Zealand dollar fell for a second consecutive session on Wednesday to $0.585, as investors weighed comments from Reserve Bank of New Zealand Governor Anna Breman. Breman noted that first-quarter measures of core inflation remained stable within the central bank’s 1–3% target band, while underscoring that policymakers remain focused on balancing inflation control with support for a fragile economic recovery.

She also reiterated that the RBNZ stands ready to act decisively and in a timely manner if short‑term price pressures show signs of becoming more persistent. Markets are currently pricing in the possibility of a rate hike as early as May. Even so, caution persists as the conflict in the Middle East threatens to undermine New Zealand’s already delicate recovery.

Externally, investors are closely watching the US Federal Reserve’s policy decision due later today, with the central bank widely expected to leave interest rates unchanged. At the same time, traders are awaiting President Trump’s response to Iran’s latest proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
