Key Quotes
“We see potential for that level to give way during the week ahead, not least because markets are currently repricing OCR expectations in a downward direction, having earlier priced in a paltry 15% chance of a June cut. Fonterra’s disappointingly low opening milk payout forecast will encourage such repricing.
Further ahead, it could be a rocky road until markets embrace Fed tightening with more vigour. Nevertheless, we are sticking with our view that eventual Fed tightening, combined with a loose RBNZ, should result in a lower NZD/USD around 0.65 by Q3.”
