FXStreet 17:05 UTC Thursday: NZD/USD around 0.5940, up 0.12%. Markets pricing up to three more RBNZ hikes through early 2027. LPR 3.00/3.50 is color, not a recut. No TA.
NZD/USD advances for a second day on Thursday, trading around 0.5940, up 0.12% on the day. That is the FXStreet 17:05 UTC stamp. The New Zealand dollar is drawing support from another RBNZ hike being priced, while the US dollar stays pressured by the decline in Treasury yields.
Markets are now pricing in up to three additional RBNZ rate hikes through early 2027, the same page writes, after hotter-than-expected inflation data. That reinforces expectations of another tightening at the September meeting.
AUD/USD is the other live Oceania tape.
The PBOC kept its loan prime rates unchanged for a 15th consecutive month on Thursday, with the one-year rate at 3.00% and the five-year at 3.50%. That hold is already filed. It is color on this tape. It is not an LPR recut.
The same page says the Treasury long-end buyback still weighs on the dollar even as yields rebound a little on Thursday. Hormuz risk, it writes, could limit further Kiwi gains if safe-haven dollar demand returns.
