The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) announced a fifth consecutive 50 basis points (bps) interest rate hike on Wednesday.
RBNZ’s Official Cash Rate (OCR) has now been pushed to 3.5% and more hikes are also expected.
Further, commentary from New Zealand Deputy PM and FM Grant Robertson on monetary policy and exchange value keeps the kiwi supported.
On the other side, focus is now on the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data, due Friday. The consensus for the payroll data is indicating a decline to 250k vs. the prior release of 315k.
Further, hawkish comments by Fed officials reaffirmed expectations that the US central bank will tighten its monetary policy at a faster pace and continues to act as a tailwind for the USD.
