flag New Zealand’s currency dropped to multi-year lows amid weaker GDP and expectations of further rate cuts.

flag The New Zealand dollar fell to a multi-month low against the pound and a 14-year low versus the euro, pressured by a weaker-than-expected GDP contraction in June, raising expectations for further Reserve Bank rate cuts. flag Despite some analysts arguing the currency is now undervalued due to strong trade fundamentals, markets now fully expect a 25bp OCR cut, with a 20% chance of a 50bp reduction. flag The U.S. dollar weakened amid concerns over a potential government shutdown and mixed inflation data, while global risk sentiment and China’s economic outlook also influenced currency movements.
