NZD/USD news for October 15, 2026
The New Zealand dollar has moved higher above 0.5600 to a two-week top as the U.S. dollar weakened on falling yields ahead of U.S. CPI inflation data. Comments from RBNZ's Conway that the October rate decision is completely open and the OCR is more likely to rise have also been in focus. The moves follow an earlier drop to an 18-month low when hot U.S. inflation fueled a U.S. dollar rally.
