NZD/USD news for September 25, 2026
The New Zealand dollar is trading around 0.5650-0.5675, near June lows, with recent moves closely tied to shifts in the US dollar and US bond yields. Pressure linked to a firm US dollar and climbing yields has at times been cushioned by expectations around RBNZ rate hikes and periods when the US dollar retreated, while attention has also turned to the Trump-Xi summit and the appointment of a new RBNZ Monetary Policy Committee member.
