What impacts the NZD/USD exchange rate
NZD/USD is the abbreviated form for New Zealand dollar/US dollar and is also known as the Kiwi. Like the AUD, the NZD also enjoys the status of being a commodity currency as New Zealand is a major exporter of dairy, agricultural products and metals. As a result, NZD/USD's exchange rate is heavily influenced by fluctuations in the values of these commodities - when they move up, the currency pair turns bullish and vice versa. In addition, this forex pair also sees significant movement on the release of important economic data from New Zealand and the US as well as monetary policy updates from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) and the Federal Reserve. Economic data that impact the value of NZD and the USD include employment rate, GDP, inflation, retail sales, and trade data. Interest rate decisions by the RBNZ and the Fed also drive movements in this pair - when either central bank turns hawkish, the respective nation’s currency appreciates and vice versa. The value of the New Zealand dollar is also driven by the tourism industry, which is a key contributor to the economy of New Zealand. When the industry is booming, it aids in economic growth and strengthens the value of the NZD.
