NZD/USD news for September 24, 2026
The New Zealand dollar has traded around 0.5675 to 0.5700 against the US dollar, pressured by a stronger US dollar tied to hawkish Federal Reserve remarks, Fed hike bets and climbing US bond yields. Expectations around Reserve Bank of New Zealand rate hikes and the appointment of a new Monetary Policy Committee member form the domestic backdrop, while focus is on upcoming US PMI data and the Trump-Xi summit amid trade uncertainty.
