The New Zealand dollar fell to around $0.572, the lowest in eleven weeks, weighed down by a firm US dollar. The greenback strengthens amid increased bets on a US rate hike following the Federal Reserve’s hawkish signals. Meanwhile, US–Iran talks in Switzerland have made encouraging progress, with technical-level discussions set to continue this week, easing earlier concerns after President Donald Trump again warned of strikes on Iran over its support for Hezbollah. New Zealand’s GDP data released last week suggested that economic recovery was gaining momentum. However, the figures largely reflected conditions prior to the escalation in Middle East conflict. As a result, forecasts show GDP to barely grow or even contract in the second quarter. Markets continue to price in a 25-bps hike in July given the RBNZ’s hawkish outlook, though swap pricing imply only two increases this year rather than the three previously expected.
