AUD/NZD on the bottom end near 1.0670 ahead of RBNZ

The AUD/NZD is on the low end heading into Wednesday's Asia market session.
The RBNZ is inbound with their latest rate call.
The RBA continues to hold steady on rates.

The AUD/NZD is down into 1.0670 after the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) held rates steady for the fourth consecutive meeting; the RBA has been pushed into a holding pattern on interest rates as the Australian economy wobbles on unsteady growth figures and exposure to a possible downturn in broader Asian markets.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand is due on Wednesday and is also expected to maintain steady policy rates, but the RBNZ has achieved a notably more hawkish tone than their RBA counterparts as of late. The New Zealand Cash Rate is seen standing pat at 5.5%.

RBA keeps interest rate steady at 4.10% for fourth straight meeting

Thursday will also see Australian Trade Balance figures, and Antipodean investors will be hoping for an upside break for the Aussie. Aussie Trade Balance is forecast to move higher from 8,039M to 8,725M.

AUD/NZD technical outlook

The Aussie is down over 2.25% against the Kiwi from the last swing high into 1.0919, and the AUD/NZD finds itself trading into the low side of 2023's chart action.

The pair has once again slipped away from the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) near 1.0825, and the Aussie-Kiwi pair has lost 3.5% from 2023's peak of 1.0617.

AUD/USD eyes 0.7150 barrier nine-day EMA

AUD/USD inches higher after registering modest losses in the previous day, trading around 0.7130 during the Asian hours.

USD/JPY trades below 160.00 intervention threshold; bullish bias intact

The USD/JPY pair attracts some sellers during the Asian session amid fears that authorities will step in again to prop up the Japanese Yen. Furthermore, the Israel-Lebanon truce prompts some profit-taking around the US Dollar and exerts downward pressure on the currency pair.

Gold defends 200-day SMA at $4,425, but for how long?

Gold is attempting a tepid recovery toward $4,500 early Thursday, as renewed optimism in the Mideast geopolitical front calms market nerves. This cautious optimism across Asian markets weighs on Oil prices, and diminishes the US Dollar’s safe-haven appeal, helping Gold stage a decent comeback from the weekly low of $4,424.

Kevin Warsh takes the Fed helm: What it means for the US Dollar

The Federal Reserve moves away from the highly predictable "forward guidance" model of the Jerome Powell era to a new “Kevin Warsh environment”, characterized by less communication, more policy surprises, and an increased focus on the Fed's complex balance sheet.

Recession on paper: What really moves the Canadian Loonie now?

Statistics Canada handed the headline writers a gift and the analysts a headache. Real GDP shrank 0.1% on an annualized basis in the first quarter, and with the fourth quarter of 2025 revised down to a 1.0% contraction, that is two negative quarters in a row, the textbook definition of a technical recession and Canada's first since the pandemic.
