- The NZD/USD gains ground to around 0.6055 in the early Asian session on Wednesday.
- Investors prepare for the result of commercial conversations between the US and China.
- The risk of deflation that deepens in China could weigh on the New Zealand dollar.
The NZD/USD torque quotes in positive territory about 0.6055 during the early Asian session on Wednesday. The hopes that commercial conversations between the United States (USA) and China are going well to provide some support to the New Zealand dollar (NZD), which acts as Proxy of China. The inflation data of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) will occupy the care center later on Wednesday.
Investors expect the result of the conversations about commercial policy between the US and China, the two largest economies in the world. The US Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, said the US and China have reached a framework to implement the Geneva consensus, but will see if President Donald Trump approves it.
Trump commented earlier this week that China is not “easy”, but that the US is “doing well” in negotiations. The optimism about the negotiations between the US and China supports the Kiwi, which acts as Proxy of China, since China is an important commercial partner of New Zealand.
Operators will take more clues of the US IPC inflation report on Wednesday. The general CPI is expected to see an increase of 2.5% year -on -year in May, while the underlying CPI is estimated to register an interannual 2.9% increase in the same period. This report could offer some clues about a greater understanding of the US economy.
“Ultimately, this report is not expected to cause significant changes in the current waiting approach and see the Fed in regards to the setting of fees,” said Sam Millette, director of fixed income at Commonwealth Financial Network.
The producer’s deflation in China deepened until its worst level in 22 months, while consumer prices extended its fall, which weighs on the NZD. China’s CPI fell at an annual rhythm of 0.1% in May after a fall of 0.1% in April, the National Statistics Bureau of China reported Monday. The market consensus was a 0.2% decrease in the informed period. Meanwhile, the IPP fell 3.3% year -on -year in May, after a 2.7% drop in April. The data were lower than the 3.2%market consensus.
New Zealand Faqs dollar
The New Zealand dollar (NZD), also known as Kiwi, is a well -known currency among investors. Its value is largely determined by the health of the neozyous economy and the policy of the country’s central bank. However, there are some peculiarities that can also make the NZD move. The evolution of the Chinese economy tends to move Kiwi because China is the largest commercial partner in New Zealand. The bad news for the Chinese economy is probably translated into less neozyous exports to the country, which will affect the economy and, therefore, its currency. Another factor that moves the NZD is the prices of dairy products, since the dairy industry is the main export of New Zealand. The high prices of dairy products boost export income, contributing positively to the economy and, therefore, to the NZD.
The New Zealand Reserve Bank (RBNZ) aspires to reach and maintain an inflation rate between 1% and 3% in the medium term, with the aim of keeping it near the midpoint of 2%. To do this, the Bank sets an adequate level of interest rates. When inflation is too high, RBNZ rises interest rates to cool the economy, but the measure will also raise bond performance, increasing the attractiveness of investors to invest in the country and thus boosting the NZD. On the contrary, lower interest rates tend to weaken the NZD. The differential type of types, or how they are or is expected to be the types in New Zealand compared to those set by the Federal Reserve of the US, can also play a key role in the NZD/USD movement.
The publication of macroeconomic data in New Zealand is key to evaluating the status of the economy and can influence the valuation of the New Zealand dollar (NZD). A strong economy, based on high economic growth, low unemployment and high confidence is good for NZD. High economic growth attracts foreign investment and can encourage the New Zealand reserve bank to increase interest rates, if this economic strength is accompanied by high inflation. On the contrary, if the economic data is weak, the NZD is likely to depreciate.
The New Zealand dollar (NZD) tends to strengthen during periods of appetite for risk, or when investors perceive that the general market risks are low and are optimistic about growth. This usually translates into more favorable perspectives for raw materials and the so -called “raw material currencies”, such as Kiwi. On the contrary, the NZD tends to weaken in times of turbulence in markets or economic uncertainty, since investors tend to sell the most risky assets and flee the most stable shelters.
