The NZDUSD pair continues to rise for the second straight day, trading near 0.5610 on Tuesday morning. This boost is partly due to China’s recent economic support measures, as New Zealand’s close trade ties with China mean its economy heavily influences the New Zealand Dollar. China’s central bank officials have announced plans to use tools like interest rate adjustments and increased fiscal spending to stabilize their economy and keep the Yuan exchange rate steady, which has fueled market optimism.
After reports from US President-elect Donald Trump’s team considered a gradual approach to raising import tariffs and easing fears of sudden inflation, the New Zealand dollar also gained from positive risk sentiment. Meanwhile, the US Dollar has eased slightly after hitting a high last seen in November 2022, supported by strong US labor market data and rising Treasury yields. At the same time, traders are waiting for December’s US Producer Price Index (PPI) data, which could further influence the US Dollar’s movements. Overall, the Kiwi Dollar remains strong amid global economic developments.
