NZD/USD bias flipped 8 times to neutral on September 16, 2026
The New Zealand dollar has declined toward its July lows after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates, with Chair Warsh saying inflation trends were not passing the test. Attention is also on New Zealand GDP data, alongside news that RBNZ's Silk will exit in December and commentary that growth risks are tempering RBNZ pricing expectations. The currency also remained subdued following the release of China's economic data.
