NZD/USD bias flipped 3 times to weak bullish on September 17, 2026
The New Zealand dollar has dropped toward its July lows after the Federal Reserve raised rates again, with Fed Chair Warsh saying inflation trends were not passing the test, while the U.S. dollar was mixed as markets digested the Fed hike and the Bank of England decision. Focus is now on upcoming New Zealand GDP data, alongside domestic developments including growth risks tempering RBNZ pricing expectations and the announced December exit of RBNZ's Silk.
