The Kiwi Has a Decent Chance to Continue Rising
Open trading account Open demo account

Inflation in New Zealand in Q1 came in slightly above expectations, rising from 2.2% to 2.5% year-over-year. This was mainly due to the goods sector, while core inflation is slowing in line with forecasts. Meanwhile, the factors driving the overall disinflationary process remain stable.

Economic indicators are not particularly encouraging either. Activity in the services sector remains below the expansion threshold, and optimism in the manufacturing sector has weakened. Spending on durable goods has declined for the third consecutive month, and consumer activity remains subdued, contributing to further inflation slowdown.

The combination of decelerating inflation, weak economic growth, and external uncertainty suggests that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand may lean toward cutting interest rates more quickly than expected. Notably, ANZ Bank now forecasts two additional rate cuts compared to earlier projections, with a minimum rate expectation of 2.5% instead of 3.0%. This is a more dovish outlook than before, and if ANZ is correct, the Kiwi is unlikely to develop sustained growth against the U.S. dollar and may complete its correction at some level before turning downward again.

That is unless the U.S. falls into a deep recession and the dollar loses some of its advantages as the world's primary reserve currency. So far, the Trump administration's actions lead in that direction—though the intended outcome was likely quite different.

The net short position on the NZD has decreased again, this time by $215 million to -$1.95 billion. Speculative positioning remains bearish, but the fair value remains above the long-term average with no signs of a reversal.

This image is no longer relevant

Fair value showed a trend shift in mid-January and continues to confirm it. The sharp drop on April 4 had no fundamental basis and was a reaction to a political event. Fundamentally, the Kiwi remains a favorite in the NZD/USD pair.

NZD/USD has reached strong resistance at 0.6030. From here, there may either be an attempt to move higher on the current momentum or a brief consolidation and correction followed by another upward push. The likelihood of a decline is considered low. A break and hold above 0.6030 seems more realistic, but for sustained growth to continue, there is still little foundation, especially given the high level of uncertainty and the commodity-linked nature of the New Zealand dollar.
