This week's outlook is being updated. The macro drivers below still apply; the new read goes up before the week opens.
Why
- Risk sentiment is helping the US dollar more than the New Zealand dollar.
- Futures positioning (CFTC COT data) leans toward the US dollar.
Events that can move NZD/USD this week
| Date (UTC) | Time (UTC) | Currency | Event |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tue, Nov 10 | 13:30 | USD | US inflation (CPI) |
| Fri, Nov 13 | 13:30 | USD | US producer prices (PPI) |
What drives NZD/USD
NZD/USD behaves much like AUD/USD: a risk-sensitive currency that tends to gain when global risk appetite improves. The gap between the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's and the Fed's expected rate paths drives the bigger trends. Dairy prices and Chinese demand matter for New Zealand's export income. RBNZ decisions, New Zealand inflation data and the major US releases are the key events.
